Hi Martin,

 

Historic Environment Scotland developed a fabulous website called Pastmap which ticks a lot of the boxes of you're looking for. Multiple layers and it pulls data from the Canmore database so you can search for listed buildings, monuments, conservation areas, UNESCO world heritage sites etc. It's definitely worth looking at as something to aim for.

Hi all

I’m helping an HLF project develop plans for a website presenting historical data, much of which is geo-related. Can anyone can suggest good recent examples of maps used creatively to present data of various types?  

Desirable features include turn on and off-able layers, zooming, presentation of metadata from specific points or areas, etc.

The idea is that users will be able to browse via maps, or categories, or AV types, and so on.    They will also be asked to contribute more data, starting from a map point/area, or from elsewhere in the site. 

Any nice recent or upcoming examples?

Also points to beware of [or indeed to be aware of!] ?

Martin
