Acquiring physical art for a museum requires a lot of planning and care. But what does it mean to acquire a digital artifact?

Cartography is a powerful tool for understanding the world and our place within it, but sometimes maps conceal more than they reveal.

Native Land Digital is a new…

In this episode, author Carissa Carter offers a definition of “map” in her new book The Secret Language of Maps that is somehow broad and very specific at the same time, encompassing any visua…

Like any good product, a basemap is something most people don't notice when it's well-designed. Typically providing context beneath a navigation route or other geographic data, the basemap is arguably the most widely-consumed type of map in modern cartography.
