• Description:
  The inspiration to write "Shaping Poland’s borders after the First World War. Methodological problems of creating digital cartographic repositories" came from the very thoughts that emerged during the work on a thematic digital repository of copies of maps and written documentation relevant to understanding the map’s content found during the queries. The repository brings together dispersed cartographic sources with their critical processing. The results are made available via a web application. The main issues covered in this publication are methodological problems related to the collected map resource, viz., its characteristics and attempts to organise it, from the point of view of presenting it in a thematic repository, as well as methodological and technological problems leading to the creation of the repository itself. While many of the methodological problems encountered, mainly related to cartographic content, were successfully solved by the authors, general matters, resulting, among other things, from the lack of nomenclatural consistency in the literature on IT solutions, remain for further discussion.;
