Dr. Arya Basu, a research fellow at the Emerging Analytics Center and an assistant professor of Computer Science at UALR, presented at a roundtable discussion on ‘Methods and Evaluation in the Historical Mapping of Cities’ at the Association for Computers and the Humanities (https://ach.org/) last month.
The context is: how do we preserve primary sources about a city’s evolution for the public discourse by being deliberate and mindful in architecting a public-facing mapping project hosted here > https://atlanta.urbanspatialhistory.org/buildings/1928. The project utilizes geodatabases of historical geographic features appended with information acquired from historical geocoders to create data-rich and engaging community and educational exploration interfaces. A team of interdisciplinary staff members, researchers, and graduate and undergraduate students work together to foster innovative methods and creative ideas to disseminate an existing body of work.
Title of the published paper: “Methods and Evaluation in the Historical Mapping of Cities.” The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences XLVIII-4-W7-2023 (June 22, 2023): 155–60.
