Lecture

Old maps are a treasure trove of information about the past and a valuable resource for the present. We will show you how they were once created and how we are now converting them into digital form to help explore and discover forgotten stories of the landscape. We are storing more and more of our wealth in the form of data: money, information, but also our favorite music and family photos. Come and find out how wealth is transformed into zeros and ones and back again, and also how we can protect it.
