Oculi Mundi is a digital heritage destination: the home of The Sunderland Collection of world maps, celestial maps, atlases, globes and books of knowledge.
The project now includes a podcast, What's your map, which starts with William Dalrymple's exploration of an 18th century Jain cosmological map.

I have a dream project that I'll never even begin to realize: a map of the Muslim world from the Hijra of the Prophet SAWS (his flight from Mecca to Medina) to the present, animated on a time scale with notations on governments in power, intellectual achievements, significant debates on creed and philosophy, and so on. I suspect the Sunderland Collection could theoretically aid in such an undertaking.
