Abstract: Instead of principally thinking of maps as the outcome of digital
humanities research, Machine Learning opens the door to investigating very
large collections of maps as input. On both the “Living with Machines” and
Machines Reading Maps projects, I have worked with a range of library
partners to create datasets inferred from the content of these collections.
This talk explores the design of our data creation methods (in particular
our software library MapReader), how open and reproducible digital research
can support humanistic inquiry, and why these approaches allow us to not
only understand, but analyze, maps in new ways.
