This website is no longer updated and has been replaced with a static copy. The Spatial History Project was active at Stanford University from 2007-2022, engaging in dozens of collaborative projects led by faculty, staff, graduate students, post-docs, visiting scholars and others at Stanford and beyond. More than 150 undergraduate students from more than a dozen disciplines contributed to these projects. In addition to a robust intellectual exchange built through these partnerships, research outputs included major monographs, edited volumes, journal articles, museum exhibitions, digital articles, robust websites, and dozens of lightweight interactive visualizations, mostly developed with Adobe Flash (now defunct). While most of those publications live on in other forms, the content exclusive to this website is preserved in good faith through this static version of the site. Flash-based content is partially available in emulated form using the Ruffle emulator.
The Spatial History of Nineteenth-Century Rio de Janeiro
Throughout the Summer of 2015, this project aims to develop a proof of concept for a future digital publication on the Spatial History of Nineteenth-Century Rio de Janeiro. Based on some of the research on Rio previously done for CESTA’s “Terrain of History” and “The Broken Paths of Freedom” projects, this new project will rethink the ways in which digital scholarship is produced and published. The final product will be a prototype for a future online edited volume on Rio. We aim to update and integrate into new technologies some of the first visualizations produced for CESTA’s Spatial History Project.
