Zeměměřické a astronomické přístroje používané na území ČR od 16. do konce 20. století

Project informations

The web portal was created as part of a grant project of the Ministry of Culture of the Czech Republic NAKI II, No. DG18P02OVV054 “Surveying and Astronomical Instruments used in the Czech Republic from the 16th to the end of the 20th century”. Project partners are Research Institute of Geodesy, Topography and Cartography, v. v. i. (VÚGTK) and National Technical Museum in Prague (NTM).

One of the goals of the project was to create a web portal, where information and image documentation of specific instruments are published. On these instruments the technologies developed for the determination of technical and precision/accuracy parameters and the production of image documentation were practically verified. The technologies and web portal were developed by VÚGTK staff. The image documentation was created by VÚGTK and partly by NTM.
