Hello, I am currently planning my forthcoming trip to the Eastern coast (see http://www.zoochat.com/22/touring-historical-eastern-zoos-403497/) and I am looking for some historical maps of this region: - The Maryland Zoo in Baltimore any period (I have only the 2014 map) - National Aquarium in Baltimore 1980s/1990s - Central Park Zoo any period (especially before 1980s) - Prospect Park Zoo any period (I have only the 2014 map) - Queens Zoo any period (I have only the 2014 map) - Staten Island Zoo any period (I have only the 2013 map) - New York Aquarium 1960s/1970s/1980s It would be very much appreciated if somebody could help to locate some of these. Thanks a lot in advance. Jonas Livet Les Zoos dans le Monde

Thanks a lot for all these very interesting links! The one from the WCS Library is of particular interest but all the others are very valuable too. Thanks again. Jonas Livet
