“…Thus, its scope in time is deeper than other similar projects in the Czech Republic -such as "Stones, Sandpits and Limestone quarries in the Czech Republic", mapping the currently quarried raw materials sources used especially for renewal of cultural heritage (Koutník, 2015), or the equally specialized application "Decorative Stones" (Dudíková Schulmannová and Skarková, 2010;Paleček et al, 2014). Historical sites of opencast mining of raw materials in a wider European space are mapped by the project "Historic Quarries", which covers -aside from several locations in the Czech Republic -mainly the territory of Slovakia, Poland, Hungary, Austria, and Ukraine Schaller, 2008-2010;Uhlir et al, 2013). Available online, in form of a database without map application, are the services "Italithos" (Giampaolo et al, 2000(Giampaolo et al, -2013 and the "Stone Quarries Database" (Russell, 2010), specialized mainly in raw materials mining in the era of the Roman Empire.…”

Abstract. Based on the vectorization of the 55-volume book series the Quarry Inventories of the Czechoslovak Republic/Czechoslovak Socialist Republic, published in the years 1932-1961, a new comprehensive database was built comprising 9958 surface mining sites of raw materials, which were active in the first half of the 20th century. The mapped area covers 40.9 % of the territory of the Czech Republic. For the purposes of visualization, a map application, the Quarry Inventories Online, was created that enables the data visualization.
