Summary/Abstract: The impressive factual content of the Historical Atlas of Poland. Detailed Maps of the 16th Century is the subject of reflection around the thesis that this Atlas is a fundamental work of Polish historical cartography. The thesis is based on the fact that an all-encompassing work has been produced, published in print and in the form of a digital source base. The extraordinariness of the work on the Atlas consists in the fact that the work is carried out by successive generations of researchers with full respect for the ideas of the originators. The digital form has naturally increased the availability of the content of the Atlas and facilitated access to historical sources. AtlasFontium.pl, as a WebGIS application, is cross-territorial and accessible without time limits.
