The ADHO GeoHumanities SIG will propose a day-long workshop at the DH2014 conference in Lausanne, Switzerland(8-12 July), to bring together people working on several aspects of historical gazetteer development in order to share plans and results, and importantly, to hear further requirements from DH scholars who have yet to weigh in.
