Digital Mapping for Historians
A practical demonstration of mapmaking using ArcGIS, followed by a short series of hands-on exercises. Key topics will include distribution maps, data-driven symbology and georeferencing scans/photos of historic maps. This session is not a fully-fledged GIS course — it aims to introduce the software at a very basic level and give a sense of its research potential.
Please remember your Bodleian Card to get into the building!
