This page is a place holder for the various maps and projects associated with cartography and mapping at Boston College. To demonstrate some of the possibilities for these projects, the DS team at Boston College Libraries worked with the 1737 Nouvel Atlas (figured right) to begin exploring methods for display and interpretation.  

Among other approaches, the class will transcribe different texts using Scripto as well as georefernce the associated maps.
