Historical maps are important sources in our project for tracing movements. If you’re also interested in maps, the exhibition at Landesbibliothek Oldenburg shows a great variety of unique examples from the North Sea Coast. Open until October, 30th.

A malanggan frieze was digitised using SfM at the State Museum Nature and Human Oldenburg. Due to the large volume of data, it can be challenging to visualise high resolution 3D models. To meet this challenge, it is possible to derive images from the 3D model.

The ship papers of the Prize Papers Collection housed in the National Archives are valuable sources for tracing the capture history during the European expansion. This example includes delicate drawings of a topsail schooner.

In the DiViAS project scanned raster maps are vectorised (manually, semi-/automatically with GIS/AI) to visualise historical ship routes on old maps. To visualise possible routes of the Albatross we vectorised the map "Der Nord-Westl. Theil v. Neu-Mecklenburg, 1889" using QGIS.

Visualising historical processes in maps is challenging, as the spatiotemporal localisation of events is often accompanied by uncertainties. The DiViAS project is therefore developing visualisation concepts that allow different types of uncertainties in the data basis to be communicated visually.

Together with researchers and records specialists of the National Archives and @prizepapers.bsky.social, we facilitated a workshop where we discussed digitisation processes and potentials of digital humanities to engage with the printed appeal papers in record series HCA 45 and PCAP 6.

This #3D model, made with Structure from Motion, shows carvings on a wooden flute. Its texture was mapped onto a cylinder and flattened into a 2D image. The flute reflects a colonial context, depicting the ship Albatross.

Transkribus is an important tool used in the DiViAS project. The case study “Movement in Space and Time” specifically benefits from the automatic transcriptions, which serve as the basis for subsequent named-entity recognition.

Reconstructing shipping routes requires detective work! Place names like 'Vivoras' or 'Biboras' (now Pedro Bank) aren't always in modern gazetteers, but historical maps hold the key.
