EE Atlas
Over the coming months, EE will be developing its own Atlas, collecting together high-resolution images of historical maps covering the locations relevant to EE's corpus of letters and the correspondents who wrote and received those letters.
Our goal is to provide a link from every document and every correspondent's page to a map covering the relevant geographical area: e.g., Edmond Halley's letter to Josiah Burchetta, written from the "Bermudas", July 8 1700, will link to an historical map of Bermuda. We will also introduce an interface for Browsing and for Searching the Atlas.
The maps will be grouped according to eight primary cartographic divisions or categories:
- world
- continents
- oceans
- countries
