Zwischen April 2005 und Mai 2006 bearbeitete eine Gruppe von Geschichtsstudenten der Technischen Universität Darmstadt unter Anleitung der Dozenten Alexander von Lünen (zuständig für Datenbanken und GIS), Dr. Detlev Mares (Didaktik) und Wolfgang Moschek (Geschichte und GIS) die Fragestellung: Welche Auswirkungen hatte der Bau des Limes auf sein Umland?
The Rare Map Collection at the Rasmuson Library contains thousands of maps that document the history of Alaska, from 16th century speculative cartography to the gold rush era. This selection of maps provides basic coverage of the mapping of Alaska, from the early voyages of discovery through the sale of Russian America to the United States and the gold rush. The maps depict the growth of geographic knowledge that resulted from the great expeditions of the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries,and also illustrate the carto-controversies that arose from various imagined geographies and fictitious voyages of discovery.
