Digitally Reinterpreting the 1856 Map of Warsaw for Historical Engagement and Spatial Literacy
Abstract
The article presents a critical reinterpretation of the 1856 Plan of Warsaw and Its Surroundings. Rather than treating historic maps as static heritage, map editing is framed as an interpretive practice combining semantic analysis and visual redesign. The result is a structured version of the map aimed at fostering spatial literacy and public engagement. The article proposes a transferable workflow and reflects on the challenges of historical map editing in digital humanities.
