  4. I'm greatly enjoying the latest version of the Old Maps Online website. It has a very smooth time scrubber where you can see political borders change through time, and then browse georeferenced historical maps from map libraries like the David Rumsey collection.

    And just the interactive map without the historical scans is available at TimeMap.org

  11. One plate of "One of the earliest known atlases, made by an #Ottoman and #Islamic #female #mapmaker, شكوفه مقبل [Şukufe Mukbil], [...] was made in 1916 by a female Ottoman student and it is an early, if not the first known atlas by a female mapmaker in the Islamic world. [...] the atlas was made as a school project. [...] The atlas was made in the time of a major #feminist movement in the Ottoman Empire, when women demanded same rights as men, and could be possibly connected with the first Ottoman female university for women #İnasDarülfünun, which was established in 1912 as a part of growing female emaciation in the Ottoman Empire and as a reply on similar foreign schools for girls. [...] [the author] was 20 years old at the time, married for 4 years and mother of a small son. Previously schooled by foreign tutors and speaking several languages, she could only enter the university with the permission of her husband. [...] The name Mukbil means fortunate, fortune or fortuna, and could be adopted only for short period of time by the author." (Alexander Johnson, 2021)"
