Digital Atlas of Indonesian History

This work is based on the author's landmark Historical Atlas of Indonesia (published in 2000) but has been expanded and updated with over 150 new maps, a new chapter, and other revisions and corrections. The result is a wide-ranging reference work for Indonesian history, consisting of a concise history of the archipelago in six chapters and a collection of nearly 500 maps saved in different formats suitable for use in classroom teaching (e.g. using Powerpoint) and for royalty-free reproduction by scholars in their own publications. In addition, the atlas offers reproductions of some historical maps, links to a wide range of other archival material and a printed user guide. Contains the full text of an introduction and six chapters covering the history of Indonesia. The text is searchable, and is illustrated by different maps at relevant points in the text. The 487 maps can be viewed in four different sizes (including thumbnails) and are downloadable in two formats (PDF and JPEG) (each map has the following additional data: File name; Map number in Historical Atlas (if applicable); Caption; Years covered (if applicable); Additional text). Includes scanned images from the 10th edition of W. van Gelder's Schoolatlas van Nederlandsch Oost-Indië (Groningen: J.B. Wolters, 1909); and, a directory of Internet links to a selection of historical maps of the Indonesian archipelago available online; a guide to using the atlas; and, software allowing easy access to and use of all parts of the atlas.
