History of Cartography Project

The History of Cartography Project is a research initiative dedicated to studying and documenting the development of maps and mapmaking throughout history. It aims to explore how maps reflect cultural, technological, and political changes over time, offering insights into how humans have understood and represented the world. Through scholarly publications, a comprehensive digital archive, and educational resources, the project provides a detailed, interdisciplinary view of cartographic evolution, helping us better understand the role of maps in shaping knowledge, exploration, and society across different periods and regions.
