A rare early copy of William Smith’s 1815 Geological Map of England and Wales, previously thought lost, has been uncovered by Geological Society archivists. The new map has been digitised and made available online in time for the start of celebrations of the map’s 200th anniversary, beginning with an unveiling of a plaque at Smith’s former residence by Sir David Attenborough.
This was the first geological map of a nation ever produced, and shows the geological strata of England, Wales and part of Scotland. The newly discovered copy is thought to have been one of the first ten produced by William Smith (1769-1839), who went on to make an estimated 370 hand-coloured copies of the map in his lifetime.

***Read this post if you're looking for an online source to help you learn more about Norse/Viking history and mythology.***
What is Fjorn’s Hall? An affordable and accessible place for anyone to learn Norse history, literature, and lore from a reliable source.
Who runs it? Me, of course! Fjorn the Skald. I have a Master's degree in History, and I'm an inclusive person (as well as an animistic pagan, of sorts).
Who learns there? Everyone is welcome in the Hall, but racism, prejudice, and other toxic ideologies are not tolerated.
What does it offer?
Raids (aka informal courses), including readable lessons, lecture videos, quizzes, and study materials.
Resources, including lore tomes (aka reference pages for Norse gods and goddesses), digital maps, and libraries.
A Podcast with weekly episodes covering material from our Raids (along with special bonus episodes).
Access to a friendly and helpful community of fellow students (as well as a place where Fjorn can answer your questions directly).
How much does it cost? A lot is actually free, but everything else can be accessed with either a $5 or $10/month subscription.
Free = blue link; $5 sub = orange; $10 sub = green
