Abstract
The “Virtual Globes Museum” project has several aims. It preserves globes for the future and provides an opportunity of examining rare globes without the risk of doing any harm to them. It also can help in globe-restoring as the restoration work can be done on the virtual copy of a globe. The first part of the paper will present possible solutions to the problem of dinteractive digital globe publishing on the Internet. It describes the processing method of the two possible source materials: globe prints and photographs. The visualization of results is realized in two different ways. The first one is a 3D virtual world created by using the VRML language. The second one is a special “globe layer” in KML, which can be used in the Google Earth software. The advantages and disadvantages of each solution are also examined. The second part of the paper will introduce the most interesting items of the museum.
