Historical Map Explorer

For the third deliverable, we created a web application that displays high-resolution scans of six maps of Venice, created between 1500 and 1847, with an easy-to-use interface. It also contains hundreds of annotations that highlight historically important structures in Venice. Those annotations are cross-referenced across maps so users can follow a structure throughout the years and easily view every map that contains it.
