“Digital Mapping in the Humanities”

Digital Mapping in the Humanities refers to the use of digital tools to visualize and analyze cultural, historical, and literary data through maps. This approach enables researchers and educators to represent complex information geographically, revealing patterns and relationships that are not easily seen in text alone. For example, a digital map might show the spread of literature across different regions over time or highlight historic events and their locations. By combining geography with the humanities, this method enriches our understanding of human experience and facilitates new insights into past and present cultures.
