Digital humanities applied to the historical cartography of the Atlantic ports: ‘E-port. Atlantic Cartography,XIVth–XVIIIth centuries’

Abstract

Cartographic representations have evolved in the interest of a greater scientific rigor since the decline of more realistic resources in favour of other, more conventional, methods. The project ‘E-port. Atlantic Cartography, XIVth–XVIIIth centuries’, as a source of knowledge, tries to conduct research from historical cartography using the resources and tools that the digital humanities provide.
