Course Content
Historical maps are the primary source for analyzing the town and country changes in history.
The course is therefore focused on the study of the following items:
- Theories and methods of cartographic representations from ancient times to today;
- Geometric and semantic content of the historical and contemporary maps;
- Use of historical maps for implementing Historical Geographical Information Systems (HGIS).
