Mapping
Mediterranean Lands
(MEDMAPS) showcases sixteen important early maps and related
information from the collections of American centers for
international research in the Mediterranean region. As part
of the Digital
Library for International Research, under the
aegis of the Council
of American Overseas Research Centers, this three-year
project completed a comprehensive survey of maps in the
collections of American research centers in the Mediterranean
area and created web-accessible bibliographic records. In
addition, this site includes information about unique maps
and illustrated plates in atlases and other publications
relating to archaeological excavation and exploration.
Mapping
Mediterranean Lands is funded by a grant
from the U.S. Department of State, Education and Cultural
Affairs (ECA), 2002-2005. The
three-year survey was conducted by the project's Head Cartographer,
Leonora Navari, in cooperation with the American
centers for international research. Ms. Navari also
wrote the exhibition essays and other project notes. |
