Spatial Histories of Philippolis (CESTA UG Research Poster)
Abstract
This project develops an interactive historical map of Philippolis in the Free State, South Africa, integrating geospatial technologies with archival research. Built on a full-stack infrastructure of PostgreSQL/PostGIS, GeoServer, and a Leaflet-based front end, the platform connects farm parcels, historical survey maps, and concentration-camp data into a unified spatial database.
