Abstract:

Using the TIMEA project (Travelers in the Middle East Archive) as a case study, this module will explore an increasingly popular trend in historical research: the use of advanced mapping software-- broadly called geographic information systems, or GIS-- as a means of animating and visualizing research. Among current research initiatives, TIMEA has been particularly successful at employing a variety of innovative digital resources to make a large set of printed antiquities more publicly accessible. The use of Geographic Information Systems is among these digital resources and this module will explain how this tool is being leveraged to the benefit of the project.
