By the early nineteenth century, when Peru gained its independence from Spain, cartographic knowledge of its eastern Amazonian frontier was limited to maps produced mostly by Franciscan missionaries who had overseen the evangelization of the region since the previous century. Thus, the reproduction of missionary charts became an important procedure that the Peruvian administration undertook to delineate and incorporate Amazonia into the newly independent nation. But it was not a simple process of copying, nor was it associated with advances in technical and printing accuracy, the reduction of map production costs, and the emergence of copyright regulations, as has been commonly argued in studies of modern cartographic copying. In contrast, this article explores a still unregulated context involving amateur cartographers who produced primarily handwritten maps. More significantly, I highlight the new meanings that colonial missionary maps acquired after being reproduced within postcolonial bureaucratic circles through the deployment of three strategies of cartographic reproduction — celebratory, tactical-military, and administrative — that transformed the original evangelizing intentions that the Franciscans had when mapping Amazonia.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47094,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Historical Geography","volume":"89 ","pages":"Pages 89-100"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143859909","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This region's rich maritime navigation tradition, spanning millennia, renders it particularly relevant to the study of maritime cartography. This research meticulously examines a collection of 79 manuscript and printed nautical charts depicting the Adriatic Sea. The primary objectives of this study were multifaceted: to catalogue all signs related to the safety of navigation on these charts, to elucidate their meanings, to trace the timeline of their initial and subsequent appearances, and to assess the extent of their standardization. The analysis reveals that the signs representing rocks, rocks awash and shoals exhibited a prolonged period before reaching a standardised form. In contrast, the sign for anchorage maintained its original form indicating a consistency in its representation and perceived utility. A notable finding of this study is the temporal discrepancy in the appearance of certain signs on the Adriatic Sea charts compared to their emergence in other European seas, and that the signs did not always develop in a progressive manner. Signs depicting shoals, rocks and rocks awash alerted navigators to potential hazards, while signs denoting safe anchorages and depths provided essential navigational assistance. These insights contribute significantly to the broader understanding the change, progression and standardisation of nautical chart signs over time. This study sheds light on the intricate relationship between cartographic representations and cartographic signs, underscoring the pivotal role of these signs in historical and contemporary navigation.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47094,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Historical Geography","volume":"89 ","pages":"Pages 27-45"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143686666","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By focusing on a period when flood risk management ‘failed’ and houses, land and businesses sat under water for many months, the paper offers important insights into early modern expectations of what ‘good’ flood risk governance looked like, who was involved, and how this was negotiated and, on occasion, challenged. Using the records of the Commission of Sewers for the East Riding of Yorkshire, the paper reconstructs the causes, extent and impacts of disastrous flooding which affected Hull and Holderness in 1646 and 1647. It pays attention to the negotiations and conflicts that emerged prior to and in the aftermath of the floods, particularly as they relate to divergent readings of Sewers law and the more or less expansive geographical horizons within which flood risk management – and specifically the financial costs of flood protection – were situated by contemporaries. In doing so, we both offer lessons from the past for what we might do better in the future, and a crucial jumping off point to engage with contemporary communities around flood risk, coastal transition and inclusive resilience building for a climate changed future.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47094,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Historical Geography","volume":"89 ","pages":"Pages 13-26"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143643226","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
