First, we provide an overview of the intersection and interaction between geography (and cartography), and the humanities. Second, the "GeoBib" project is used as a case study to exemplify challenges for such collaborative, interdisciplinary projects, both for the humanists and the geoscientists. Finally, we conclude with an outlook on further applications of GIS in the humanities, and the potential scientific benefit for both sides, humanities and geosciences.}, subject = {Digital Humanities}, language = {en} }
