[Qgis-community-team] QGIS Case Study: The Historical Gazetteer of the Crimea (HGC) Project

[Tim Sutton]

Hi Mark

It will be really great to include your case study on our web site. Perhaps you could have a look at https://www.qgis.org/en/site/about/case_studies/index.html and get some inspiration in terms of providing a little more detail and some images etc.

Otto are you still able to help with walking Mark through the process of getting his case study included?

Regards

Tim

The primary source of data was Henryk Jankowski’s Historical-Etymological Dictionary of Pre-Russian Habitation Names of the Crimea.  Of the 137 populated places shown on Jankowski’s map, 99 have been associated with existing places.  These are the populated place entries in the HGC.  The gazetteer also includes locations for six provinces and 43 districts.  The gazetteer was generated as a QGIS project with geolocation of places being done by associating Jankowski’s places with currently-existing places contained in the GeoNames database (http://www.geonames.org <http://www.geonames.org/>).
