A digitized facsimile of the Gough Map is available via Digital Bodleian
New research on the Gough Map is providing us with more information about how it was made and when.
The interactive digital version of the map accessible here derives from the 'Linguistic Geographies' research project, funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (2010-11).
The interactive map content will soon be further revised and updated thanks to a three-year Leverhulme Trust-funded Gough Map Research Project (RPG-2019-070: Understanding the medieval Gough Map through physics, chemistry and history), based at the Bodleian Libraries, University of Oxford. The latest published research on the map appears in Imago Mundi: the international journal for the History of Cartography (2017), 69 (1), pp.1-36.
The project team is working with the publisher Brill, and a volume outlining the research outcomes of the current project will become available after 2025.
