Apologies for cross posting.
Is anyone aware of the existence of a dictionary of abbreviations used in historical documents or maps? I have a reader who is consulting quantities of these, and very often the older the document the less likely they are to provide a list of abbreviations used. I've come across a few sites online, but they all seem to be either fairly basic, or lists of abbreviations used in specific books.
Any ideas would be gratefully received.
Many thanks
