Exploring the use of maps historically and how they can help us to cast light on the past

Historians use maps a lot – or at least they should. They help us to understand global relations, environmental and social change and they help to reveal how the world was understood and explored in the past. This webinar series is an opportunity to hear three world class academics explore different aspects of history and historical understanding over four talks that look at the power of maps.

• The library of lost maps | Professor James Cheshire
• Mapping society | Professor Laura Vaughan
• Mapping protests in Britain from Peterloo to the Suffragettes | Professor Katrina Navickas
• The power of maps today | Professor James Cheshire

Recordings of all talks in the series will be published on these pages as soon as they become available.
