<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">This doctoral project aims to integrate diverse historical resources—primarily maps and texts—to enhance spatio-temporal information retrieval using GeoAI and Large Language Models (LLMs). It will focus on linking information
in historical maps spatially and temporally with other resources, such as registries in historical documents. By integrating these diverse sources, the research will develop methodologies to extract, structure and organize historical data, enabling advanced
search and retrieval. The outcomes will enhance the accessibility and usability of historical geospatial data, allowing for comprehensive cross-disciplinary analysis and deeper insights into historical events and transformations.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
