Abstract :
We present a system that visualizes large collections of archival geographic records. This system is comprised of a data grid containing a 60TB test collection gleaned from the US National Archives, and three web-applications: an indexer and two web and mobile-device based visualizations focusing on collection understanding in a geographic context.
