/CartoMundi/ is a public website, developed by the Mediterranean House
for Social Sciences at Aix-en-Provence and Telemme, for the University
of Aix-Marseille. It offers a catalog and reproductions of several tens
of thousands of maps. They are antique or new, detailed or general and
they represent diverse places of the world (mostly on Mediterranean and
Balkan).

Its public interface http://cartomundi.eu <http://cartomundi.eu/>/ Find
/ By geographic location – allows to search documents by geographical
location, for any place in the world, and to get their description and
their call numbers in different map libraries. It allows also a very
fluent navigation into several sets of reproductions. You will find
about 18 000 references of documents which represent different countries
in the world, at different scales, for different periods.

All the map libraries, apart from their size or their status can
participate to /CartoMundi/ through its shared platform to manage and
integrate new data. From a simple registration in the directory to the
management of the database,/CartoMundi/ offers three levels of involvement.
