The Calcarius geo-information system was created within the scope of the project about traditional Lime Technologies of Historic Buildings and Their Current Use in 2011-2015. A part of this project aimed at mapping different aspects of historic limestone quarrying, lime burning and the use of lime in historic buildings. Another goal was to create an effective tool for archiving and presenting collected information with the possibility of future modifications. The project involved experts from two institutes of the Czech Academy of Sciences, the National Technical Museum and Charles University in Prague. In order to create the database, evidence of existing quarries and preserved lime kilns were collected and a great deal of historic documents, old maps and archaeological archives were excerpted. The resulting thematic map applications present, from various perspectives, historic lime technologies and raw material resources in the Czech Republic. The newly designed information system was largely based on ArcGIS software products. The CALCARIUS web application and further information about the project are available at www.calcarius.cz.
