David Rumsey Historical Map Collection Google Earth.
The original historical maps are first made into digital images by scanning them with high resolution digital cameras. Then these digital images are transformed in a process called georeferencing, which makes them display in their correct geographical spaces in Google Maps and Earth. Georeferencing is done using a GIS program, which takes points on the old maps cities, coast lines, rivers, streets and connects them to the same points on a modern satellite map image or a modern street map or a modern map showing boundaries of countries and states. The GIS program then takes all these points as many as 200 are made for very large maps and uses them to recreate the digital image so it will fit into its modern geographical space. Often the image has to be curved a bit for this to be accomplished. The result is an exploration of time as well as space, a marriage of historic cartographic masterpieces with innovative contemporary software tools. Insight Java Client 6.3.
