Description

From the project webpage (2026-07-13):

Peripleo is a browser-based map tool which enables the visualisation of information that has a geographical component. It was originally conceived and developed for a project which has now evolved into the Pelagios Network, and has been developed for Locating a National Collection (LaNC) by its original creator, Rainer Simon, at the Austrian Institute of Technology. You can visualise your own data with Peripleo and make this available on the web using Github Pages by following these instructions.
