This website is provided as a free image resource for historians, genealogists and anyone undertaking family history, ancestry or local history research. The costs of running this free resource are mostly met by the small commission from Google adverts, please support my sponsors!

The site now contains over 31,100 images (as of July 2014) of old and antique prints, maps and portraits, dating from the 17th century but mostly from the later 18th century and 19th century. The images are all of prints and maps that are for sale on my main website, antiqueprints.com, but will also include all those that are now sold and no longer visible on my commercial site.

I am quite happy for people to use images of my antique prints and maps on their own web pages as long as the use is non-commercial. Those running personal websites dealing with family history, genealogy, or other historical research etc. are most welcome to copy any of the map or print images for their own use, as are charity and non-profit organisations.

In return I would greatly appreciate a link back to my website, or a credit such as 'Image courtesy of ancestryimages.com'.
