HGC Description

This document provides an overview of the Historical Gazetteer of Crimea (HGC), starting with a review of the information sources used to create the gazetteer, followed by descriptions of the HGC databases and database format. The means of accessing the HGC databases are then presented, two examples of HGC database visualization are provided, and directions for future work are outlined. The authors encourage students, researchers, and the public to use HGC materials in their investigations of this historically and currently critical region of the world.
