Digital support to Mobilities, international business and global mining capitalism (19-20th cent.) project

The MobiLab provided digital support to the project Mobilities, international business and global mining capitalism (19-20th centuries), managed by our MoHu member Marco Bertilorenzi. The project explores the mobility of French mining engineers during the 19th and 20th century. It would like to explore the nexus between the mobility of high skilled workers, like mining engineers, and the mobility of capitals, linking the movements of people to the ones of investments and multinational firms. The project is based on a large database of engineers (about 3000), the mobility of whom was tracked in several benchmarks and georeferenced/mapped through ArcGIS Online software. Marco Orlandi provided assistance in adapting the database to  ArcGIS Online and in setting new visual settings with maps.
