Title: Geography, Harvard, and Digital Mapping
Abstract: The origin stories that surround geographic information systems focus in on the 1960s, as a period of intense advancements in computer supported cartography. In this presentation, I examine one site of such innovation: the Harvard Laboratory for Computer Graphics (and Spatial Analysis), founded by Howard Fisher in 1965. By examining the growing interest and expansion of computational methods in the analysis and representation of spatial data, I reconsider and rescale what we might mean by innovations in digital mapping.
