 Origin of MapReader
 -------------------
 
-MapReader is a groundbreaking interdisciplinary tool that emerged from a specific set of geospatial historical research questions.
-The classification pipeline was inspired by methods in biomedical imaging and geographic information science, which were adapted for use by historians, for example in our `Journal of Victorian Culture <https://doi.org/10.1093/jvcult/vcab009>`__ and `Geospatial Humanities 2022 SIGSPATIAL workshop <https://arxiv.org/abs/2111.15592>`__ papers.
-The success of the tool subsequently generated interest from plant phenotype researchers working with large image datasets, and so MapReader is an example of cross-pollination between the humanities and the sciences made possible by reproducible data science.
