Rare Maps of India

Venue: Seminar Room, 394

Presenters: Joe Arthur, Philip Kent, David Jones

Since the 1960’s the University of Melbourne Library has distinguished itself as a major collector of maps including 15,000 rare and historical maps. A recent digitisation project has exposed some significant early maps featuring the Indian sub-continent.

This presentation provides an opportunity to learn more about the collection, to view some original treasures as well as hearing about the process to digitise them including devices, standards and the challenges and opportunities of digitisation.
