Digital Map Information
Geographicus maintains an archive of high-resolution rare map scans. We scan our maps at 300 DPI or higher, with newer images being 600 DPI, (either TIFF or JPEG, depending on when the scan was done) which is most cases in suitable for enlargement and printing.
Delivery
Once you purchase our digital scan service, you will receive a download link via email - usually within seconds. Digital orders are delivered as ZIP files, an industry standard file compression protocol that any computer should be able to unpack. Some of our files are very large, and can take some time to download. Most files are saved into your computer's 'Downloads' folder. All delivery is electronic. No physical product is shipped.

How Large Can I Print?
In general, at 300 DPI, you should at least be able to double the size of the actual image, more so with our 600 DPI images. So, if the original was 10 x 12 inches, you can print at 20 x 24 inches, without quality loss. If your display requirements can accommodate some loss in image quality, you can make it even larger. That being said, no quality of scan will allow you to blow up at 10 x 12 inch map to wall size without significant quality loss. For more information, it is best consult a printer or reprographics specialist.
Refunds
If the high resolution image you ordered is unavailable, we will fully refund your purchase. Otherwise, digital images scans are a service, not a tangible product, and cannot be returned or refunded once the download link is used.

The Société d'Archéologie Copte (1934 - Present) is an archaeological society founded in Cairo, Egypt. Originally founded as the Association des Amis des Église et de l'Art Coptes, the name was changed to the Société d'Archéologie Copte in 1937. The Society was founded as a center for research and publication related to the Coptic era. The Society also helped found the International Association for Coptic Studies in 1975. It is an entirely independent scientific institution and is not affiliated with any church body. It began publishing the Bulletin de la Société d'Archéologie Copte in 1936, making it the oldest and first periodical dedicated to Coptology. Learn More...
