The first image of Dihua Street in Da-tong district, Taipei is an old street full of Chinese medicine shops, dried goods stores and fabric stores. Reminiscing the development of Dihua Street, it is located in an area called “Dadaocheng” which became a street in 19th Century. Foreign companies came to Tamsui and built their career after Tamsui Customs Wharf was established in 1860. The trading of tea activated the commercial developments in Dadaocheng area. In the end of the 19th Century, Dadaocheng became the trading hub in northern Taiwan.

A new site "Maps of Formosa under Dutch and Spanish Rule" was built up. It contains 5 articles by Assistant Prof. Ang Kaim(翁佳音) on Taiwan maps, a map database and a bibliography database. The databases are presented in a catalogue style, providing users a channel to access map-related resources.

The site will be updated continuously, and any suggestion is welcomed.
