摘要：The Perthes Map Laboratory “GlobMapLab” is a step towards the long-term goal to unfold the scientific potential of the Perthes Collection Gotha as a resource documenting the activity of the Perthes publishing house, a major international hub of geographic and cartographic knowledge in the 19th and early 20th century. The Perthes Collection comprises a map collection of over 180,000 sheets. The GlobMapLab will be a customized web interface making digitized maps from this collection available online, thus not only facilitating access for a wide scholarly as well as amateur audience, but also providing features for enhanced handling and analyzing of the maps within the broader context of the Perthes Collection.
