Research Group & Network

One of the aims of the project Cartographies of Africa and Asia is to inspire collaborative research and international cooperation. Since its inception, it has been facilitating interdisciplinary discussions on historical cartography, assisted the forging of new networks and the sustaining of already established ones, and, last but not least, explored new avenues for future research of the Perthes Collection’s rich archival holdings.

In May 2022, an international research group was formed to explore questions of cartographic research and territoriality/territorialities as a concept. Additionally, we are proud to be part of a partner network of blogs focussing on the historiographical analysis of related issues and source material.
