Last modified: October 7, 2008 About our Map images In our 'Map images' resource you can access and view over 86,000 maps as high-resolution, colour, zoomable images. The maps date between 1560 and 1961 and relate primarily to Scotland. We also have maps of areas beyond Scotland, including maps of England and Great Britain, Ireland, and Belgium. Find by Place The easiest way of finding material relating to any particular location is to find by place. Browse by category The easiest way of finding general groups of maps is to browse by category. You can also browse the maps by the names of map-makers, surveyors and engravers. Sets of county maps We have several atlases online with sets of county maps: Military maps Another category is of maps made for military purposes, especially those from the 18th century. Ordnance Survey maps We have a comprehensive set of all the detailed Ordnance Survey maps covering Scotland available. Ordnance Survey mapping published in the last 50 years is in copyright and cannot be scanned and made available online.
Locating London's past: a geo-referencing tool for mapping historical and archaeological evidence, 1660-1800 Locating London´s Past has created an intuitive GIS interface that enables researchers to map and visualize textual and artefactual data relating to seventeenth and eighteenth-century London against a fully rasterised version of John Rocque´s 1746 map of London and the first accurate modern OS map (1869-80). More than this, it makes these data and maps available within a Google Maps container, allowing for the analysis of the data with open source visualization tools. The interface is readily expandable to include additional data sets and maps (both modern and historic). Building on the partnerships created through the JISC funded Connected Histories project, and through a new collaboration with the Museum of London Archaeological Service (MOLA), Locating London´s Past has produced a working GIS-enabled public web environment that allows existing electronic historical data about London to be repackaged and organised around space. The project incorporates four elements.
London Lives 1690 to 1800 ~ Crime, Poverty and Social Policy in the Metropolis Spatial History Project The Spatial History Project at Stanford University, a part of the Center for Spatial and Textual Analysis (CESTA), is made possible by the generous funding of the Vice Provost for Undergraduate Education (VPUE), DoResearch, The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, and The Wallenberg Foundation Media Places Initiative. The Spatial History Project at Stanford University is a place for a collaborative community of students, staff, and scholars to engage in creative spatial, textual and visual analysis to further research in the humanities. We are part of the Center for Spatial and Textual Analysis (CESTA) along with Humanities+Design and the Literary Lab on the top floor of Wallenberg Hall. We continually seek fruitful collaborations with faculty at Stanford and beyond, and hire motivated students year round.
Visualising Urban Geographies Visualising Urban Geographies is a project that provides mapping tools for historians. It enables them to use digitized and geo-referenced maps in conjunction with historical information based on either addresses or districts. This spatial dimension enriches historical understanding and analysis, and can also be applied to other subject areas. The focus on Edinburgh is deliberate: to explore the potential of the mapping tools where there is available data and a wide range of suitable maps. The project operates on several levels. Inspection: Bringing together geo-referenced maps in a single place enables change over time to be identified by overlaying maps of different periods. Great Britain Historical Geographical Information System (GBHGIS) | Great Britain Historical Geographical Information System (GBHGIS) The Great Britain Historical Geographical Information System is a unique digital collection of information about Britain's localities as they have changed over time. Information comes from census reports, historical gazetteers, travellers' tales and historic maps assembled into a whole that is much more than the sum of its parts. This site tells you more about the project itself and about historical GIS. A separate website, created by funding from the UK National Lottery and extended and re-launched with funding from the Joint Information Systems Committee, makes this resource available on-line to everyone, presenting our information graphically and cartographically.

DEBUTER SOUS LINUX : GUIDE COMPLET I-A. Introduction▲ Curieux de changer de système d'exploitation, mais pourtant vous n'avez pas le bagage en informatique. La ligne de commande fait peur, coder n'est pas votre truc et pourtant lassé des défaillances d'autres systèmes d'exploitation ? D'accord Linux ce n'est pas (toujours) élégant, ce n'est pas un Mac Book Pro ou Air. Pourtant Apple ou bien Windows a une fâcheuse tendance à avoir des environnements utilisateur peu customisables et contraints, c'est un fait : les geeks sont sur Linux. L'informatique se complexifie avec le cloud computing et il est plus difficile de comprendre dans les différentes couches d'abstraction ce qu'est un ordinateur et comment celui-ci fonctionne avec le « tout connecté » et « objet intelligent » qui commencent à nous envahir par les smartphones, drones. I-B. Dernière mise à jour de Windows 8, tout frais avec son nouveau bureau de travail à la façon métro, il vous faudra payer la licence d'exploitation. Ce n'est que le début. I-C. I-D. I-E. I-F.
