[KS] Korean atlases at the Kunstpedia blog

[acope at uwm.edu]

I also forwarded the Kunstpedia information to a discussion list for 
History of Cartography. Ed Redmond from the Library of Congress 
forwarded the email below. With his permission, I share this information 
with the Korean Studies list.

Several examplese of Korean hand atlases, including those acquired from
Shannon McCune and discussed in the Map Collector article,  have
recently been added to the Library of Congress Map Collecitons web site.
 
These scans are the result of a collaboration between the National
Library of Korea and the Library of Congress to preserve rare Kprean 
atlases.
