Humap for digital humanities
Interested in using Humap for a grant-funded project? Our Bid Kit has all of the information you’ll need for a great application. We also have a video tour and a platform overview. Our full feature list is here.
We also have a participatory archaeology/interactive cartography tool called Placemaker. It’s currently being used to crowdsource archaeological data in the UK to improve existing records but has wider applications as a user-friendly map-drawing tool.
