Home > News
The “Historical Atlas of South India” project was officially completed through a seminar that was held at the IFP on April 4 to 6, 2008. Several Indian historians of international repute were among the 50 participants to this seminar.
Four South Indian universities (*) were associated to the IFP to lead this ambitious project, the objective of which is to make available on the Internet and on CD-ROM, an Atlas of the historical configurations of South India (chronology dating from prehistoric times to the 17th century). This project, which was launched in 2005 and led by the IFP, was entirely funded by the Ford Foundation.
A “beta” version of the CD-ROM was presented during this seminar. The Atlas will be incorporated in a digital database in 2 or 3 months. It will then be available for consultation on the website of the Institute.
(*) Associated universities: Tamil University (Thanjavur), Mahatma Gandhi University (Kottayam), Mangalore University (Mangalore), Hyderabad Central University (Hyderabad).
