Japanese Imperial Army Maps Online

Maps from the Japanese Imperial Army archives are now online (Japanese language archive) and might be used to study changes in forest cover or the growth of cities, per one researcher. Some of the maps date back to the 1880s. The maps were collected, copied or created during times of Japanese colonialsim, making residents of some impacted countries less than pleased with their appearance on the Web.
