SUMMARY:Georeferencing Historical Maps
DESCRIPTION:This workshop offers an introduction to georeferencing 
 historical maps with QGIS. Georeferencing is the process of taking a 
 digital image or map and connecting it to a real world geographic 
 coordinate system\, allowing you to overlay historical and current maps\, 
 and to analyze relationships between them using GIS tools.\n\nWe will begin 
 by exploring Koerner Library’s physical map collection and then work 
 through georeferencing a scanned historical map of Vancouver Schools from 
 1975. By the end of this workshop you will be able to\n\n\n	Understand the 
 essential concepts and steps for georeferencing a digitized historical 
 map\n	Demonstrate the georeferencing process using a desktop GIS 
 software\n	Calculate and evaluate errors involved with transforming a paper 
 map into GIS data\n	Formulate ideas for further using georeferenced maps 
 with modern spatial data\n\n\nThings to do before arriving:\n\nBefore 
 attending this workshop we recommend you establish a basic familiarity with 
 the QGIS Interface. Check out the Library’s Map Production with QGIS for 
 a gentle introduction.\n\nQGIS is a free and open source desktop geographic 
 information system (GIS). It can be installed on Windows\, MacOS\, and 
 Linux using the download instructions here: 
 https://www.qgis.org/en/site/forusers/download.html. This workshop will use 
 the Long Term Release (LTR) version 3.28.\n\nThe workshop will not be held 
 in a computer lab\, so please come to the workshop with a laptop and the 
 LTR of QGIS already installed. If you have questions about installing the 
 software or do not have a laptop\, please contact Alex Alisauskas before 
 the workshop – alexandra.alisauskas@ubc.ca.\n\n
