Open History Map Exploration

The OHMEC project is a free, open-source geography project, with a goal of representing all historical indigenous lands and political boundaries in a unified database. The uniqueness of OHMEC is its ability to represent these lands and boundaries on any date, as well as being able to show the dynamic changes in lands and boundaries from any point in history to the present. It is very much a work in progress. This early demonstration shows a rendering of data in the North American arena using Leaflet to display geographical features from the database, overlaid on top of a modern map.

The OHMEC project is being developed openly in a Github repository. Participation is welcome, see that repo for more information on the management of the project. Also see this slidedeck for more insight into the project. A specification of the extended GeoJSON format that underpins the historical database is provided here. For information or any questions, please use ohmec.contact@gmail.com.

At this time, there are 0 features rendered in the database(s).
