摘要:The subject of the work presented here is to map a part of urban history concerning a newer quarter within the city of Thessaloniki, Greece (that of the Exohōn district, formed at the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century) as recorded in a number of notable buildings of the area which were constructed during that period and shaped the quarter’s appearance and cosmopolitan character. Cartographic heritage supported by digital technologies in combination with other documents of cultural heritage can help reveal fragments of the city’s stories and depict them on a modern map. This becomes particularly useful, given the lack of historical proper cadastral records for the area. To be more specific, a large number of historical buildings of the above mentioned quarter, most of them non-existing nowadays (and documented elsewhere through urban history researchers) are geographically located, georeferenced and digitized, with the help of historical documents (i.e. historical maps, topographic plans from various years during the period of concern as well as old air-photos). This is a part of the city’s history that -although recent- has not been recorded to the detail that it deserves, from the geospatial and cartographic point of view. Given the fast changes in its urban evolution and character, it constitutes an attractive area of knowledge, both for specialists and for the general public. For the final cartographic presentation of the data processed in the work, a web mapping environment is chosen, for its multimedia possibilities suitable for presenting additional information at request (photos, text, documents), but also for its potential appeal to the general public.
