Digital Humanities GIS Projects; Anterotesis

John Levin

Quoting Levin, “The original aim was to catalogue academic mapping projects… But the list has drifted away from this, to cover literary and historical mappings in general... I’ve begun to compile a list of Digital Humanities projects where GIS (Geographical Information Systems) has a leading part.” Essentially, this is an archived list of geographical academic projects that cover a wide variety of subjects, ranging from literary to historical contexts.

GIS is a subject that includes neogeography and web-mapping, ultimately used as an overall term. This is just an archive/list of various academic maps regarding literary or historical purposes.

At the very least, you need to have a basic understanding of geography or mapping. Although we are not going to be mapping ourselves, it’s important to be able to understand what we’re looking at or what GIS is as a whole.

As of right now, I am unsure if there are other apps or programs that might be similar to this, but there may be more professional or certified websites/people out there that could categorize academic GIS projects. As for right now, this is the only one of its kind as we know of.

Again, GIS should be the primary requirement, as this topic is prevalent in each map that may be provided.

There are tags that can lead to properly tagged posts and various archives dated by month and year.
