The pilot project for Mapping St Petersburg was funded by a grant awarded by the UCL SSEES Research Support Fund 2010. Thanks are due to the committee for their generosity in supporting this project.
Thanks are also due to the UCL SSEES library, for providing access to maps of Petersburg digitized for the EuropeanaTravel Project.
