The Maps section of the Kent Archaeological Society website brings together a diverse and expanding collection of cartographic resources that explore the archaeology, history, and landscape of Kent. This includes historic maps, thematic mapping projects, and a growing range of interactive tools that allow users to engage directly with spatial data. Resources such as Kent Maps Online combine essays with interactive maps and images, while linked datasets like the Historic Environment Record provide access to thousands of archaeological sites, buildings, and landscapes across the county . Together, these materials offer both visual context and analytical insight, supporting research, education, and public exploration of Kent’s past.

We invite individuals, local societies, researchers, and digital practitioners to contribute mapping resources to help expand this section. Submissions may include historic or modern maps, GIS-based projects, geophysical surveys, site plans, and especially interactive maps that allow users to explore data dynamically. Contributions that link spatial information with archaeological interpretation—whether through web mapping platforms, annotated datasets, or visual storytelling—are particularly encouraged, as they enhance understanding of Kent’s heritage in new and engaging ways.

Selected contributions may be featured within the Society’s Maps section to support research, teaching, and wider public engagement. When submitting, please provide relevant details such as title, creator, date, geographic coverage, and a description of the content, along with any links or access requirements for interactive material. Our editorial team may make minor adjustments for clarity or presentation. By contributing, you help build a rich and evolving cartographic resource that maps the complexity and depth of Kent’s archaeological and historical landscape.
