Kircher Society

I recently rediscovered The Proceedings of the Athanasius Kircher Society.

The Athanasius Kircher Society was chartered to perpetuate the spirit and sensibilities of the late Athanasius Kircher, SJ. Our interests extend to the wondrous, the curious, the singular, the esoteric, and the sometimes hazy frontier between the plausible and the implausible — anything that Father Kircher might find inspiring if he were alive today. Records of our proceedings are maintained for the public’s edification.

Here are a few gems to check out:

Jim Bumgardner's Time Graphs
The Automatic Mapper
Gallery of Scale Model cities
A Guide to Hyperbolic Space
The World's Largest Model of the Solar System
A Short History of Celestial Cartography
Autopia Ampere
The Mapparium
The Gottorp Globe
