Welcome to the Gold Bug! We are dedicated to providing you with historical information and software for genealogical research, academic study or personal interest. We have a large selection of reproductions of early maps of the U.S., Europe and the world, going back to the 16th century. Our atlas software is designed to aid in historical research.

Notice to our Customers
On September 29, 2008, Art Lassagne, the founder of The Gold Bug, passed away. We know that many of you knew Art personally; he will be greatly missed. The Gold Bug has been and remains a small family business dedicated to serving you. Your orders are important and will be filled - but perhaps not as promptly as you have been used to, at least until we get back on our feet again. Please bear with us as we deal with the loss of a wonderful person.

The Gold Bug Store

We offer our software products on-line. You can shop and order Gold Bug products conveniently and securely in the Gold Bug Store.

 

SiteFinder Online

Q: What do you get when you combine AniMap's SiteFinder with Google Maps?

A: A whole new way of "plucking and plotting"!

Introducing SiteFinder Online, a free web-based version of The Gold Bug's SiteFinder U.S. place name database. SiteFinder Online lets you search for towns, cemeteries, schools, courthouses (and more) and plot them onto Google Maps where you can zoom in & out or overlay the SiteFinder locations onto satellite images of area you are studying. You can plot multiple items at once, or search for your exact point of interest.

Now it's that much easier to find what you're looking for.
