So now here I go on a quest to host as many as I can before we all lose access to these wonderful works. Once I started on hosting a mirror of the TriAtlas project I found other similar types of maps from other people scattered around and wondered how long it would be before they too disappeared. ![]() This of course assumes I can find all the maps. Since I have a pretty good hosting package, plenty of room, and not that many people go looking for these so the bandwidth would be minimal, I decided it would not be a problem to host the maps myself. I was horrified to find out that the website was gone and try as I might, several versions of the charts seemed to be gone forever. This project started when I went to get a copy of the TriAtlas maps because I could not find what I had done with the ones I downloaded years ago. This is my attempt to catalog and mirror as many of them as I can so all amateur astronomers can freely download them because quality printable sky maps are hard to find. There are a lot of different types of free star maps and star charts out there, many of which have disappeared over the years.
