The Southern Scientific Centre of the Russian Academy of Sciences (SSC RAS) focuses on the most interesting and promising research in Southern Russia. One of its activities covers the study of the historical and cultural heritage of the region. The article presents the results of a study on the forms and methods of preserving and enhancing historical and cultural heritage in Rostov-on-Don. The article analyses the project, which was implemented at the SSC RAS and aimed at developing a GIS-map of historical and cultural monuments in Rostov-on-Don. This interdisciplinary project involved staff from the laboratories of History and Ethnography and Information Technology and Mathematical Modelling. The paper details all the steps involved in developing a map. The authors focus on the technical characteristics of the project. The purpose of the study is to make scientifically accurate information about the historical and cultural heritage, monuments and memorial sites of the Rostov region available to a wide range of researchers, employees of cultural and educational institutions, representatives of public organizations and public authorities. The project and the article applied methods and approaches from various disciplines. The work is based on historical-analytical and historical-systematic methods. The map development process used mathematical and cartographic modelling techniques, geocoding. The care for monuments is an indicator of the spiritual health of a society that is capable of dealing with the historical past reasonably and respectfully.
