The Brighton and Hove Historical Mapping Web Site
Hi there
As part of a masters dissertation at the University of Portsmouth, into the spatial querying of historical maps online, I have created the above historical mapping web site, hosted at: http://tiger.iso.port.ac.uk:7785/www/geg50160.brightonandhove.maps.
The site allows users to:
a.. View historical maps of Brighton and Hove;
b.. Search these historical maps, using indexes complied from the original maps and/or other gazetteers from the same period;
c.. Choose a location on a map and then find out what exists at that location on other maps;
d.. Pan around the maps and change their scale.
The site is hoste d in an Oracle database, using Oracle Spatial, with Oracle's MapViewer being used to output the maps to the Web Site. The original maps were georeferenced using ArcGIS. In order to keep the site out of copyright, I manually created a world coordinate file using my an OS 6" Sussex county series sheet, LXVI, published 1880. Without a copy of this map, the work would have been much more difficult to undertake. And were it no for the contributions and help of people on the carto-soc mailing list, who replied to a message I posted, I would not have known how to create the coordinate file.
The projection itself, a Cassini county series projection, origin located at Ditchling Beacon, was created using information complied by Brian Adams and published in the extremely useful, Projections and Origins: Collected Writings of Brian Adams (published by the Charles Close society). In addition to that Russell Fox, retired OS librarian, confirmed a query I had with the projection and Cliff J Mugnier, who has also completed research into the country series projections, was helpful too.
Once the database was created, additional work was completed using MapInfo, as this allowed direct access the Oracle database tables.
I am intending to carry on the work and expand it once I finish my course at the University of Portsmouth. If you would be interested in find out more about this or collaborating on the project, then please get in contact. The work will probably have to be transferred to an open source solution as I am unable to afford the costs required to run the site using Oracle. This will also affect how the maps might be georeferenced in the future.
Due to the amount of work required, the site features 11 maps (12 images) covering the central area of Brighton. For those that know Brighton this is roughly:
a.. Church Street in the North;
b.. Montpellier Road in the West;
c.. The two piers in the S outh;
d.. Rock Place in the East.
The maps include, amongst others:
a.. The map from Edward Cobby's "the Brighthelmston Directory for 1799"
b.. Hadlow's 'Brighton Hove and Preston' from Robertson's 1895 "Delegates' Guide to Brighton"
c.. Stanley Barnett's Graphia Street Plan of Brighton and Hove from c1931-1934
d.. Stadtplan Von Brighton from 1941, which was by the rather long named: Generalstab des Heeres. Abteilung f?egskarten und Vermessungswesen (IV. Milit?geographische) [translated as: General staff of the army. Department for war maps and surveyings. (IV. Military-Geographical)]
Please try out this new site and let me know what you think. Whilst I do not have time to incorporate any changes into my work, I will keep a record of all comments, suggestions and problems you may encounter.
Kind regards
Tim Langner

Several examplese of Korean hand atlases, including those acquired from
Shannon McCune and discussed in the Map Collector article, have
recently been added to the Library of Congress Map Collecitons web site.
These scans are the result of a collaboration between the National
Library of Korea and the Library of Congress to preserve rare Kprean
atlases.

Dear Colleagues,
Sorry to enter this discussion so late, but I wanted to mention that
in addition to my little volume titled Chinese Maps: Images of All
Under Heaven and the annotated on-line version of the Da Qing Yi Tong
Tian Xia Quan Tu mentioned by Harold Meinheit, I have produced a book
chapter titled "Mapping China's World: Cultural Cartography in Late
Imperial Times," in Yeh Wen-hsin, ed., Landscape, Culture and Power in
Chinese Society (Berkeley: University of California, Berkeley, Center
for East Asian Studies, 1998). The virtue of this chapter is that it
is much more fully documented than either the book or the on-line map;
this documentation includes extensive footnotes, an expansive
bibliography, and a complete glossary of Chinese names, terms, and
titles (both manuscripts and published materials). Cheers, Rich Smith
