County Maps on the Web

A Web version of the County Maps package is also available. It has the same functionality as the original version but uses Internet Explorer as its GUI (Graphical User Interface). Click on the title above to view a demo of the County Maps on the Web Viewer. Please note that whilst this demo shows full functionality, it contains a limited selection of mapping.

The County Maps system is part of a larger software system for PCs - called the County Record system - which provides a comprehensive Administrative and OPAC system of accessing images and archeological data as well as seamless modern and historic maps. Users of the County Maps system can upgrade to the County Record system as and when required.

The County Record is derived from a project undertaken for Durham County Council Arts, Libraries and Museums Department which was grant aided by the Department of National Heritage under the Public Library Development Incentive Scheme in recognition of its innovative nature.
