At the i3mainz we perceive Spatial Humanities as the application of information- and surveying-technology in the humanities. The focus is put on the acquisition and the processing of spatial data, applying methods from geoinformatics and 3D-object documentation in the domains of archaeology and cultural as well as art-history.
Since years supported by the state of Rhineland-Palatinate as âCompetence Centre for Spatial Information-Technology in the Humanitiesâ, i3mainz has established comprehensive competences, distinguished human resources and appropriate technical infrastructure.
We consider âSpatial Humanitiesâ a subdiscipline of âDigital Humanitiesâ (also called âe-humanitiesâ), in which the i3mainz introduces its specific technological capabilities into the establishment of this innovative research field.
