This ain't working for me, I can only see the intro post, not the maps I hoped to see. What am I missing?

  Above the main text section, in the menu, click on more and choose a publisher Edit: assuming you are on mobile. Otherwise just pick a publisher from the menu

  It is a terribly designed website. The intro post points to the (top-)left menu, but that doesn't contain any links to pages. The maps are accessible indexed by publisher in the menu below the site title, which is in light gray over a light background and overflows into a "More…" option at the end.

    It's a Blogspot blog, presumably created by someone passionate about the subject but without knowledge of web design. There's a lot of content (a lot), including citations of sources. 10/10 for content and 3/10 for design still results in a 9/10 website as I see it.

This is very cool and I'm glad the author compiled this material, but the site reminded me immediately of one I worked on (I ran the digitization lab in the special collections library for 3 years) in college, around 1997. The Whitman Archive at UVA is ... unfortunately fairly similar in content presentation, even after having been updated a few times over the decades.

  Not sure I can agree, I think the archive you posted is quite well laid out and from a cursory browse I found it easy to navigate. The site in the OP is far worse.

  Unfortunate in the 'allegation of theft of style' sense, or something more serious? edit: 'hamburger' menu also not found on my side--index at bottom of post seen, but no maps found.
