REL 125: Introduction to World Religions (Larsen): Mapping Tools and Sites

Historical map collection containing over 55,000 maps and images. Focuses on rare 18th and 19th century North American and South American maps and other cartographic materials. Historic maps of the World, Europe, Asia, and Africa are also represented. In 2022 Rumsey gave the entire digital collection to the Internet Archive to preserve and make available in the Archive's online library.

This first installment of the Oriental Institute Map Series presents seven Site Maps covering the ancient Near East (Egypt, Sudan, The Levant, Syria, Turkey, Iraq, and Iran), locating primary archaeological sites and modern cities.

Desktop mapping and spatial data analysis application produced by Esri (formerly, Environmental Systems Research Institute, Inc.) that allows users to create original maps using geographic data in electronic form.

ORBIS VIA allows users to assess the methods/routes of travel available between respective ancient sites and the number of days it would have taken to get from one place to the next.

For the first time, ORBIS allows us to express Roman communication costs in terms of both time and expense. By simulating movement along the principal routes of the Roman road network, the main navigable rivers, and hundreds of sea routes in the Mediterranean, Black Sea and coastal Atlantic, this interactive model reconstructs the duration and financial cost of travel in antiquity.

Provides users with the ability to create and share historical geographic information about the ancient world in digital form.

Produced by the Research School of Pacific and Asian Studies at the Australian National University. Supports online research in the field of dromography and provides a public-access electronic archive of geo/chrono-referenced data on land, river and maritime trade routes of Eurasia and Africa during the period 4,000 BCE - circa 1820 CE.
