Title A name given to the resource Britain Colonial Mapping of Western Palestine in the Ottoman period Description An account of the resource The Palestine Exploration Fund (PEF) of Great Britain conducted an extensive survey of Western Palestine from 1872-1877, during the Ottoman period. While the fund was headed by religious figures and academics, there was also involvement from the British government. Essentially, the religious and academic associations of the fund may have served as a front to allow the British government to collect intelligence on the region. For example, the British Foreign Office had documented involvement in the production and funding of the survey project, which increased with the Russo-Turkian War (1877-78). This survey was the most detailed and technologically advanced to date and was ultimately employed by the British in their invasion of Palestine in WWI. In addition to its attention to topographic detail, this mapping project is notable for its area of focus. Unlike other maps produced by Western colonial powers at the time, such as France and Germany, this map focuses exclusively on an area west of the Jordan river. Uncannily, its borders resemble those of the future British Mandate (1920-1948). The survey is also careful to include the significant holy sites of the New Testament. After the maps production, the British Foreign Office required that the PEF delay the publication of the maps for a year to control the dispersal of sensitive intelligence information. Thus, these maps should be evaluated both as products of academic and religious scholarship and as tools in the British colonial enterprise.

Description An account of the resource This map layer depicts Western Palestine at the time of the Old Testament. It sources its information primarily in the book of Joshua which chronicles the Israelites conquering and settling the Holy Land. However, there are additional place names, not mentioned in the Old Testament, that extracted from Josephus’s commentary. Potentially, the author also used Josephus’s text as a lense onto the Old Testament. Joesphus’s commentary on the Old Testament was famously translated by English Theologian William Whiston in the early 18th century and it itself included some maps. There is some ambiguity as to the exact time period this map aims to depict. The key explains symbolism for biblical events that are centuries apart, for example delineating the arrangement of governances during the reign of King Solomon and also tinting and coloration to indicate the tribal territories which were captured in the Assyrian and Babylonian Captivity. Another focus of the map, holy places and stations (for sacrificial worship) are marked through symbols and color. Because the Palestine Exploration Fund sponsored a survey limited to western Palestine, the map is limited in scope and is only able to include six of the tribal allotments represented in the Old Testament. This suggests that reconstructing the holy land of the Old Testament was not the primary goal of the survey. It is important to note that the cartographer’s depiction of the land allotments to each of the twelve Judean tribes and also various Kohanite and Levite cities was not the first of its kind and indeed follows a classical style that can be traced back to the middle ages. However, this map layer is unique for its merging of religious historical heritage with cutting edge topographic and demographic data.

Title A name given to the resource Mapping disease Description An account of the resource My final project investigates the different ways of mapping disease throughout history and how this can be seen as a product of attitudes towards disease and understanding of the underlying mechanisms at a particular time. While now producing maps of disease is a basic tool in epidemiology and public health, this way of visualizing disease patterns did not develop until around the turn of the 19th century. Prompted in part by serious epidemics of cholera and yellow fever, maps became an important tool in the mission to understand the mode of transmission of disease. In particular, maps were key in the debate over and development of germ theory. Later, maps were also used to disseminate awareness to the general public, and no longer remained the preserve of scientists and public health officials in academic contexts. For this initial map collection I aimed to display three maps that show significantly different ways of thinking about infectious disease. In particular, they show three key stages in the understanding of disease: initial mapping to attempt to discern a mode of transmission, knowledge of a vector and its range, and an attempt to communicate the urgency and danger of disease to the public.

Title A name given to the resource World Map of the Major Tropical Diseases Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Boris Artzybasheff Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Time, Inc. (New York) Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1944 Description An account of the resource This map, produced in 1944, shows major “tropical diseases” and where they occur in the world. A stylized image of the vector or symptoms of the disease is drawn over each afflicted region. Along the bottom of the map is a key describing which image refers to which disease, with a short block of text giving more background about each disease below the corresponding image. Interestingly, malaria is the only disease not identified by an image, and instead malarial zones are just colored pink. The map overall creates an almost gruesome image in which the world is covered in insects, pests, and deformed humans. It is a very unconventional way of depicting disease since the area that each image marks and the ranges of diseases are very vague. It would not be very useful for an epidemiologist, but is a striking way of conveying to the viewer the number of diseases that afflict the world and to what extent we possess the ability to treat them. The decision to depict malaria so differently raises an interesting question about perception of that disease in particular.
