Georeferencing the map of the United States as of 1815 (which was basically just the eastern half of what it is now) was definitely an interesting experience. I have done georeferencing before, but not in the context of digital humanities,… Continue Reading
Here is my georeference! To be honest, I am not sure that my understanding of spatial digital humanities projects has changed that much after georeferencing. I think I got more out of exploring the Roman Archeology maps, and the other… Continue Reading
The David Rumsey Georeferencer webpage is not only a phenomenal tool for mapping analysis, but it is also lots of fun. My understanding of the spatial DH projects improved as I worked through georeferencing Polynesia onto the current world map.… Continue Reading
I highly enjoy the process of georeferencing. And here is my result. I did a map of Africa which was published in 1720. I am shocked at how powerful David Rumsey Georeferencer is. I used to think when doing georeferencing,… Continue Reading
My <This Map> page can be seen here. The map I used is called Mercators Chart, and was depicted and published at 1808. This process of rectifying a historic map was an interesting experience, as it was fun to see… Continue Reading
The process of referencing a historic map onto a larger world map changed my perspective on the development of digital humanities projects that deal with spatial problems because while I was tediously marking the small corners of Pennsylvania it gave… Continue Reading
Yesterday I had the opportunity of working with a map from the David Rumsey Georeferencer page. I was given an old map of the globe (shown bellow), and I had to match the places with a current map of the world.… Continue Reading

The link to my map is here. Creating this project definitely showed me how cool these kinds of projects are. Seeing completed projects is already interesting, but being able to interactively create one myself made it that much more exciting.… Continue Reading
If I must say one thing, it’s that historical mapping looked easy until I tried it. As you should be able to see, in order to make my map look even remotely accurate, I had to warp it significantly, and… Continue Reading
