Learned about new open source GIS software for map making from an IT writer at my newspaper today. Quite exciting for me since geography is essential to get a handle on the history of Burma-Yunnan-Bay of Bengal (c. 1350-1600).
1. OSGEO.ORG is offering the open source GIS software.
2. Here is the GIS blog Between the Poles of Geoff Zeiss who works for Autodesk working on the project somehow.
3. Also found this open source GIS resource list.
Anyway, one these days, soon, supporting written history with maps will be a lot easier.

The history of Burma and the Tai states on its frontiers (c. 1350-1600) and connections to Ming Dynasty Yunnan to the north and the Bay of Bengal to the south. The use of historiography and technology to investigate this time period and region are also covered.
