Organisators are Department of Cartography and Geoinformatics and Center for Digital Humanities of Perm State National Research University with the support of the Russian Geographical Society, the State Archives of Perm Krai, the Perm Local History Museum, the Komi-Permyak Local History Museum of P. I. Subbotin-Permyak.
The relevance of the conference is due to the need to preserve, study and popularize the cartographic heritage of regional storage. Its necessity is also grounded on the underestimation of the importance of historical information and the low involvement of cartographic materials in scientific and applied research by representatives of the humanitarian and interdisciplinary studies. Also, it lies in the demand for cartographic materials that are inaccessible to the wide general public, local communities and all cartographers interested in history. Increasing accessibility to the maps will ensure their inclusion in the information field of science.
The aim of the conference is to attract the society to study and popularize the heritage of cartographers represented in federal and regional museums, archives and libraries, involving in the scientific and industrial turnover of information resources aimed at developing the spatial data infrastructure of the Russian Federation.
The conference will consider the following issues:
- History of cartography and modern cartographic data study;
- Historical geoinformatics and its interrelations with modern geoinformation mapping;
- Kinds and technological features of creation of modern cartographic geoimages;
- Use of historical information while creating an infrastructure for spatial data in the regions of the Russian Federation;
- Introduction into the scientific and social circulation of the historical-geographical and historical-cultural heritage of cartographers of Russia and the Urals;
- Study and popularization of the scientific and creative heritage of the prominent cartographer of the Urals Krivoshchekov I. Ya.
