HARVARD GIS COMMUNITY NEWS |
|
The catalog for the recent Harvard Map Collection exhibition “Follow the Map: The Harvard Map Collection at 200” is now available online. “Follow the Map” brings together captured Japanese maps from World War 2, hand-drawn nineteenth-century surveys of Bavaria, Early Modern atlases and modern propaganda maps to trace the network of donors, collectors, and curators who have defined the size and scope of the Harvard Map Collection. In October, the Map Collection also hosted one and a half day symposium reflecting on the past and future of cartographic collections, which included a panel discussion on the use of cartographic collections as data in geographic information systems.
The latest (2017) Landscan is now available in maps and online. Use this link and the “view full text” option to get to the online viewer from East View.
