About Us

The mission of NL Maps is to encourage people to lean more about the history of Newfoundland and Labrador by using interactive maps (GIS). Historical information takes on an extra dimension when location is included. Where adds to who, what, when and why.  NL Maps would like to acknowledge the sources from which the maps were compiled.  The sources include the Memorial University of Newfoundland and Labrador Digital Archive Initiative, the Provincial Archives and the City of St. John's. There is so much more NL history to be mapped and shared. If anyone would like to learn more or contribute, please contact us.
