What are Map themes on Humap?

Map themes let you customise your Humap project with different colours and fonts.

Examples:

• Tampa Through Time – an archival history of Tampa FL, from the University of South Florida
• Layers of London – a crowdsourced history of London, from the Institute of Historical Research & partners
• Scarborough Atlas  – Scarborough history, enriched through the collections of Scarborough Museums & Galleries
• Senfl’s World – a Renaissance musical history map of Europe, from the University of Music & Performing Arts Vienna
