Cartographica Extraordinaire Historical Map the Transformed

David Rumsey Historical Map Collection - The David Rumsey Historical Map Collection is a significant private collection of some 150,000 maps and cartographic items, some 11,000 of which have been placed online.

Tissot's Indicatrix - Tissot's Indicatrix is a method of measuring map distortion developed by Nicolas Auguste Tissot, a 19th century French mathematician and cartographer. By marking circles on a globe and then mapping the coordinates of the circles on a map, distortions of size, angle and shape become evident by the transformed sizes, angles, and shapes of the circles.

Distance transform - A distance transform, also known as distance map or distance field, is a representation of a digital image. The choice of the term depends on the point of view on the object in question: whether the initial image is transformed into another representation, or it is simply endowed with an additional map or field.

The Genographic Project - The Genographic Project, launched in April 2005, is a five-year genetic anthropology study that aims to map historical human migration patterns by collecting and analyzing DNA samples from over 100,000 people across five continents. Field researchers will collect DNA samples from indigenous populations but uniquely the project will also allow for public participation.
