ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

History of Cartography Project

The history of cartography project is a way to better understand maps and map making. It explores how maps have been used throughout time and around the world. It looks how maps were created from earlier times to today. It also looks at how maps were used to travel, explore, record information, and show boundaries. The project also looks at changes in technologies for making maps and how these changed the ways we use them. It includes the study of different materials that were used for making maps and the tools used for making them. All this helps us to better understand how we use maps in our everyday lives.
