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.
