- Double-weighted statement
- A co-authored and co-edited c.80,000 word volume with c.60+ original maps and visualizations; the main co-authored chapter draws on a complex and multi-layered research process over a four-year period that involved building an historical GIS of wartime Budapest, populating multiple layers with geographical data from a range of archives, undertaking quantitative methods of analysis and producing a series of maps. The lengthy process of data collection, visualisation and mapping, analysis and writing up typifies projects like this in the digital and spatial humanities where the maps and images are as critical as the text in developing and substantiating the argument.

- Additional information
- This 256p edited collection is based on an international research project co-led by Professor Cole. Cole, Giordano and Knowles successfully applied for USHMM funding for a two-week interdisciplinary summer research workshop, two years of NSF funding and then coedited the resulting volume (Cole 33% share). The project brought together nine historians and geographers who worked in interdisciplinary paired groupings on linked digital humanities research. Cole co-wrote the introduction (33%) and conclusion (50%) and was lead-author for the Budapest case study that drew on archival research in Hungary and the creation of a HGiS of the Budapest ghetto.
