The countries defined on the site are the current countries. They do not necessarily correspond with the old countries. Any locality defined on the site must belong to a country. If the locality is not yet defined you can use a generic locality for this country

This site is dedicated to the Belgian map and to illustrators. So all Belgian localities are defined.

Foreign cards are only encoded on the site if they have a connection with Belgium (for example a Belgian publisher / printer)

On this site a locality is a place located in a country with its current spelling. Cartophilia will usually be old towns, even hamlets. When inserting a map we will refer to the municipality of the time.

When we write the title of a map, we will give the locality that is as it is on the map with its old spelling. When one wants to go more finely in the definition of the place of a map one can associate one or several localized points (for example a station, a school or a church etc ....).

As this site is a site devoted mainly to Belgian cartophilia, only the Belgian localities are listed in a complete way. The localities of other countries are present only summarily in order to complete the files of the publishers or personalities.
