Abstract
The process of building a geospatial component to access existing materials in the Perseus Digital Library has raised interesting questions about the interaction between historical and geospatial data. The traditional methods of describing geographic features' names and locations do not provide a complete solution for historical data such as that in the Perseus Digital Library. Very often data sources for a spatial database must be created from the historical materials themselves.
