#GISchat: Twenty years ago, I didn't really *get* the concept of #geodatabases but was told by multiple folks I respect that if I stuck with #shapefiles I'd be stuck in the past. Yet here we are in 2025, and geodatabases don't seem to have gone anywhere and I still use shapefiles. Hmmm... ๐ค

Historical #shapefiles of Irish electoral boundaries (1885-1918) in case they are of use to anyone. It's a mix of a map of southern Ireland made by Jack Kavanagh and my attempt to recreate Northern Ireland/Ulster historical boundaries zenodo.org/records/1399...
Missed your 25th birthday @shapefiIe (July 1998); that is 175 years in technology years! ๐ ๐ ๐ค ๐
