Dr Jakub Kuna from the Department of Geomatics and Cartography of the Maria Curie-Skłodowska University (UMCS) in Lublin completed works on the implementation of the National Science Center’s grant  “Study of the Lublin Orthophotomap 1939-1945” and put it in the website https://ortolub.umcs.pl/ 

The website includes: a map application presenting a historical photo map of Lublin from 1944, a repository of archival aerial photos and a spatial data service with instructions showing how to add a historical orthophotomap to popular analytical programs (GIS) and use it in further research.

The map application prepared by the UMCS scientist allows displaying a historical orthophotomap with the modern maps and satellite photos as well as archival maps from the Second World War. It allows making an in-depth analysis of what survived the war and what has changed. The Lublin city borders in the years 1931-1947 and today are also presented.
