Digital History Projects

These projects take primary/historical data and represent it visually in new ways, in order to make patterns or trends visible or to facilitate new interpretations.

Please note: The data, the numbers, are generally primary, but the maps themselves are secondary, because they represent a particular manipulation or interpretation of the original data. Both can still be excellent sources to reference, but keep the difference in perspective.
