Caribmap is a resource for exploring historical map images of Caribbean islands. The site has evolved since 1999 and now presents images of ~1800 maps of the islands printed over five centuries (16th–20th). This is still a small sampling of the thousands of different maps that were printed. High resolution map images allow visitors to zoom in on details, including place names of historical and scientific importance. After selecting an island, all map images of that island appear in chronological order above the viewing area, and can be browsed. Clicking on a thumbnail loads the image into the larger viewing area and displays the map information at left. Once loaded, zooming in on the image is possible by controls that appear below the image viewing area. A resources page provides links to online cartographic tools, including other sites containing map images of Caribbean islands. A literature page presents relevant literature references for Caribbean cartography.

Barbuda is Antigua's sister island; a beautiful and natural island community with pink sand beaches and a fascinating history.
