The History of Cartography Project
The History of Cartography Project is a research initiative that explores how maps have been created and used throughout history. It investigates the evolution of mapping techniques, geographic knowledge, and cultural perspectives across different civilizations and time periods. By analyzing historical maps, the project aims to understand how societies viewed their world, expressed beliefs, and communicated spatial information. It also examines the influence of technological advances and cultural exchange on mapmaking. Ultimately, it seeks to deepen our understanding of the development of geographic knowledge and its role in shaping human history.
