New in IGCS - History:

China Historical Geographic Information System (CHGIS)

Ed./Corp.:Harvard University, Cambridge, MA, USA
URL: http://fas.harvard.edu/~chgis/).
Language: English.

Supplied note: "The CHGIS project has been established under the aegis of
the Harvard-Yenching Institute and Harvard University with a three-year
grant from the Henry Luce Foundation. The CHGIS will establish a
standardized coding system to identify historical administrative units and
settlements for different periods in Chinese History. It will provide a
base GIS platform for spatial analysis, temporal statistical modeling, and
representation of selected historical units as digital maps. The project
[which builds on the work of the late Robert M. Hartwell - T.M. Ciolek]
intends to make the multi-lingual base GIS available to the scholarly
community at no charge through download sites throughout the world.
The participating institutions are: Center for Historical Geography, Fudan
University (Shanghai) Computing Sciences Center, Academia Sinica (Taipei)
Australian Centre for Asian Spatial Data and Information Analysis Network,
Griffith University (Brisbane), Harvard University (Cambridge)."

Description: T.M. Ciolek: "Site est. 20 Dec 2000. Close involvement
of  Peter K. Bol, Lawrence Crissman, C.C. Hsieh, and Merrick Lex Berman
augurs well for the success of the Project. Definitely a site to be watched."

Site contents: Introduction; Web maps [under construction]; Data sets
[under construction]; Members.
