Map Themes

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

 

Customising your Humap theme

  • Log in to your Humap website.
  • Click Map Theme in the menu on the left.
