A gazetteer is a geographical dictionary or directory used in conjunction with a map or atlas. They typically contain information concerning the geographical makeup, social statistics and physical features of a country, region, or continent. Content of a gazetteer can include a subject's location, dimensions of peaks and waterways, population, GDP and literacy rate. This information is generally divided into topics with entries listed in alphabetical order. 

Ancient Greek gazetteers are known to have existed since the Hellenistic era. The first known Chinese gazetteer was released by the first century, and with the age of print media in China by the ninth century, the Chinese gentry became invested in producing gazetteers for their local areas as a source of information as well as local pride. The geographer Stephanus of Byzantium wrote a geographical dictionary (which currently has missing parts) in the sixth century which influenced later European compilers. Modern gazetteers can be found in reference sections of most libraries as well as on the internet. 

The "Oxford English Dictionary" defines a "gazetteer" as a "geographical index or dictionary". It includes as an example a work by the British historian Laurence Echard (d. 1730) in 1693 that bore the title "The Gazetteer's: or Newsman's Interpreter: Being a Geographical Index". Echard wrote that the title "Gazetteer's" was suggested to him by a "very eminent person" whose name he chose not to disclose. For Part II of this work published in 1704, Echard referred to the book simply as "the Gazeteer". This marked the introduction of the word "gazetteer" into the English language. Historian Robert C. White suggests that the "very eminent person" written of by Echard was his colleague Edmund Bohun, and chose not to mention Bohun because he became associated with the Jacobite movement.

Läs texten och besvara frågorna. En gazetteer är en geografisk ordbok eller katalog som används tillsammans med en karta eller atlas. De innehåller vanligtvis information om ett lands, en regions eller en kontinents geografiska sammansättning, social statistik och fysiska särdrag. En gazetteers innehåll kan inkludera ett ämnes läge, dimensioner av toppar och vattenvägar, befolkning, BNP och läskunnighet. Denna information är i allmänhet uppdelad i ämnen med poster listade i alfabetisk ordning. Forngrekiska gazetter är kända för att ha funnits sedan den hellenistiska eran. Den första kända kinesiska gazetteern släpptes under det första århundradet, och i och med tryckmedias ålder i Kina på 800-talet, blev det kinesiska gentryt investerat i att producera gazetteer för sina lokalområden som informationskälla samt lokal stolthet. Geografen Stephanus av Bysans skrev ett geografiskt lexikon (som för närvarande har saknade delar) på 500-talet vilket influerade senare europeiska kompilatorer. Moderna gazetter finns i referensavsnitt på de flesta bibliotek samt på internet. I "Oxford English Dictionary" definieras en "gazetteer" som ett "geografiskt index eller lexikon". Den innehåller som exempel ett verk av den brittiske historikern Laurence Echard (död 1730) 1693 som bar titeln "The Gazetteer's: or Newsman's Interpreter: Being a Geographical Index". Echard skrev att titeln "Gazetteers" föreslogs honom av en "mycket framstående person" vars namn han valde att inte avslöja. För del II av detta verk som publicerades 1704 refererade Echard till boken helt enkelt som "the Gazeteer". Detta markerade introduktionen av ordet "gazetteer" i det engelska språket. Historikern Robert C. White antyder att den "mycket framstående person" som Echard skrev om var hans kollega Edmund Bohun, och valde att inte nämna Bohun eftersom han blev knuten till den jakobitiska rörelsen. 1. Vad är en gazetteer? 2. Vad bestod den av? 3. Vad hade Kina med saken att göra? 4. Vem var Stephanus? 5. Gjorde han nåt viktigt? 6. Kan du hitta något av hans arbete idag? 7. Vad skrev Laurance Echard? 8. Var titeln föreslagen för honom? 9. Av vem? 10. Vem var Edumund Bohun? 11. Varför nämndes han inte?
