Tome Marelić

Abstract


The international conference “Early Modern Nautical Charts: Information Sources, Navigation Means, and Communication Media," organised by the University of Zadar and the Croatian Cartographic Society, was conducted in the Research Library Zadar and online between 23and 24 May 2024. The conference discussed early modern nautical charts as an important form of cartographic expression and as communication media focused on the sea areas, islands, and the mainland coast. Its goal was to bring together scholars from various fields related to the history of cartography and navigation to present their latest research achievements and discuss the scientific importance of their work. The conference was an integral part of the scientific project IP-2020-02-5339, Early Modern Nautical Charts of the Adriatic Sea: Information Sources, Navigation Means and Communication Media (NACHAS) funded by the Croatian Science Foundation (HRZZ).
