Geoffrey Wallace’s research has one foot in the archives and the other in the world of digital maps. His project while at Georgetown is an effort to assemble, curate, and publish an online historical digital atlas of the Spanish colony of Yucatán. This atlas and the data it uses are closely linked to his forthcoming dissertation from McGill University, “The Living Rock: Environmental Histories of Yucatán, 1540-1730.”
