Palestine Open Maps is a platform that uses mapping technologies in collaboration with researchers to showcase visual stories of the geographical transformation of historic Palestine over the last 70+ years. The project combines 1940s British Mandate of Palestine survey maps with present-day maps, historic and modern data, photography, and oral histories to create searchable and comprehendible maps.
