NI Boundaries Website

[Scott Moore]

Hi folks,

I was advised to post here a while back by Andrew Bolster. I wanted to share a project I’ve been working on: https://boundaries.scottmoore.xyz

This website contains an interactive map of current and historical Northern Ireland boundaries - including electoral boundaries, administrative boundaries, cadastral boundaries (like baronies, parishes, townlands etc), physical geographical boundaries, statistical boundaries, and more.

Many of the maps are derived and collected from public sector and other sources - but also included are maps I’ve made myself, including accurate digitised maps of the 1984 and 1972 Northern Ireland councils, wards and District Electoral Areas.

Please take a look, see what you think, and feel free to reach out to me if you have any queries or if you’re interested in volunteering to help me build this further, or supporting me and the project via Ko-fi (no obligation, of course!)

All the best,

Scott Moore

Hiya Scott!

I love maps, and I think your project is very interesting. Is there a way to see a specific set of boundaries? Say, I want to see electoral boundaries, or I want to see historical boundaries.

Kind regards,

Silvia

Scott, 

I am an active contributor to OpenStreetMap ( https://hdyc.neis-one.org/?jonnymccullagh ) 
You mentioned maps in Irish and Ulster Scots. I created this one (using vector tiles):
https://learscail.openstreetmap.ie

I contacted the Ulster Scots Agency but got no reply.

I'm interested in what you are doing and would like to mention it more widely. Would you be free for a coffee in Belfast some Monday ?
If so please reach out to me on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonnymccullagh/ 
Regards,
jonny

Hi Scott,

Apologies for the delay in getting back - as somebody who has interest in NI boundaries through the years, especially how public sector data has implicitly evolved as they changed, I have an inkling of the amount of digging and building this would have required -- fantastic work!

I don't want to put you on the spot on a public list, but if you would be up for talking on this at a BLUG pretty please, I for one, would be massively interested :D

All the best,

Phil
