Extract Map History is a proposal that offers a solution for creating databases of digitized historical maps by extracting place names from these maps, providing a new way to explore and analyze historical data based on cartography.
The application allows researchers, historians, and geography enthusiasts to identify and catalog place names preserved in historical maps.
Combining modern georeferencing tools with an intuitive interface, the application facilitates the search, recognition, and recording of toponymic information, helping to preserve the geographic memory of different eras and regions. It also supports the selection of documentary material for academic research in Historical Cartography.
On this page, you will find the link to download and install the application, as well as access maps and toponyms already mapped by the community. We hope this will be an excellent tool for everyone interested in working with this theme.
