The Postel Archive at the University of Southern California Information Sciences Institute has a number of very early ARPANET maps. I suggest you email the Director of the Postel Centre, Joe Touch, to request permission to access the archive - most of which is still restricted access. The maps are in the accessible portion of the archive. touch@isi.edu is Joe's email address. John On Sat, Jul 27, 2013 at 12:44 AM, Marc Weber II <mweber@computerhistory.org>wrote:
Dear Pierre:
The main images I chose to illustrate the ARPANET are in the "Networking" gallery in our "Revolution" exhibition: http://www.computerhistory.org/revolution/networking/19/407, as well as in my various articles that I forwarded previously. However we have or can point you to others too.
As Dag wrote the network maps like the one you've attached are public domain since they were done as part of a U.S. gov't research contract; we've used them in our physical version of the exhibition, showing the growth of the net in a looping video.
FYI this PDF<http://www.computerhistory.org/nethistory/nethistory-resources.pdf> on the Internet History Program pages (computerhistory.org/nethistory) lists a number of resources at CHM and beyond that might be relevant, including how to search our collection, oral histories with a number of ARPANET pioneers, and the Finding Aid to the SRI ARC/NIC collection. I've also copied networking pioneer Jake Feinler, who was the director of the NIC and is a core advisor to the Internet History Program; she may have other photo ideas.
Best, Marc

Hi all, In quest for a piece of advice: - What pictures would you select to illustrate a short story of Arpanet ? - Do you know if the map attached here is free of rights, or still under copyright (of which organization?)
With many thanks (and regretting not to be in Manchester with several of you). Best, Pierre Mounier-Kuhn
