Virtual Borderlands. Ukraine in historical maps


(online) Leiden, The Netherlands

Organisation: Universitaire Bibliotheken Leiden

A selection was taken from some six hundred maps and plans on Ukraine, which belong to the Bodel Nijenhuis Collection and the Steegh/Teunissen Collection of Leiden University Libraries. Thirty maps on the history of the second largest country in Europe will be presented in six paragraphs. Each starts with a number of maps, with corresponding captions, and finishes with a short commentary that hopefully sheds some light on the present war of Russia against Ukraine.
The authors of the exhibition are Martijn Storms and Harrie Teunissen.

Everyone will make up their own mind about the usability of the website. But the quality and resolution of the images are excellent.
