Alexander von Humboldt Center for Cartology
Cartology is a form of map-making which takes into account the social and historical contexts of the landscapes depicted in maps- which is why it is more important than ever in an era of AI imaging to use human cartographers with human understanding for the maps we preserve and produce.
Saint Columba Center for Academic Preservation
In Early Medieval Ireland, one Irish monk make the decision to start collecting and preserving Roman texts and saved countless texts on the history of Ancient Europe. In an age of rising authoritarian regimes, it is more important that ever to preserve academic research for future generations.
