Accessing the Inaccessible: Creating a Digital Cartobibliography of Embedded Maps

摘要

Maps within printed books have long been both useful for research and often difficult to access. Numerous indexes have been published in the past 150 years to resolve this problem., though these efforts have necessarily been limited in scope. A selection of these works is reviewed, and an online and collaborative cartobibliography aimed at providing a method to index embedded maps using wiki software is discussed.
