ETHOS Lab is part of a funded Europeana research project called Mapping A Colony. The project is being conducted in collaboration with The Royal Library, the Uncertain Archives project, the Pastâs Future project, and lead by the author Lene Asp.
The objective of the Mapping A Colony project is to create an interactive map to highlight and investigate Danish colonial heritage. Since 2017 marks the centennial of the sale of the Danish West Indies (present day US Virgin Islands) to the United States, there will be a special emphasis on locations and information connected to the Danish West Indies. This collection was digitized by the Royal Library and used for the interdisciplinary datasprint ‘Representing History Through Data‘. Read more about the specific aims of the project below.
