Each work in The Heritage Collectors ™ digital library contains a set of new, interactive maps in PDF format. Placenames on the maps are color coded (RED) to show locations mentioned in the ballad and song texts of the related collection. All of these place names are linked to the accompanying gazetteer and from the gazetteer directly to the lyric texts. Several locations oneach map are further marked as having photographs or illustrations attached and viewable.

Although optimized for 8.5"x11" or 18"x24" printouts, map views can be zoomed out as small as 8.33% and zoomed inas large as 800%. Every map has a comprehensive set of bookmarks for quick navigation to any locale.

The English and Scottish Popular Ballads (digital edition) include interactive maps of the British Islands, England and Wales, Scotland, Ireland, the North Atlantic, Europe and the Mediterranean, historic London, and historic Edinburgh.

The Gazetteer lists and locates all of the placenames found in the ballad texts. Brief notes illuminate each citation. The ballad texts and the maps are all interlinked through the Gazetteer.
