This search portal allows exploration of the materials in the context of the Sápmi area.
While some materials may have explicit coordinates, the locations relating to most of the materials have been described textually and the geographical locations of these materials have been geocoded using OpenStreetMap data. These materials are shown on the map in purple.
Some materials do not have any location information attached to them. These materials are still shown on the map, but they are shown in grey on top of the providing institutions.

The timeline allows narrowing of the search within a given time period. Please note that only materials with time information are shown on the timeline.
