Workshop: Mapping History, Harvard University

October 30, 2019 - October 31, 2019

October 30-31, 10am-2pm

Mapping is an effective tool for reconstructing the past, which reveals the spatial relationships that stimulated cultural, social and political change over time. In this workshop, we will introduce digital tools and workflows for visualizing and interpreting historical data. We will cover the basics of QGIS, web mapping with Leaflet, georeferencing historical maps, incorporating time-based geographic data, creating multilayer historical web maps, and more. Mapping History will be led by Nil Tuzcu (Harvard Kennedy School and MIT), a designer and creative technologist, with assistance from the DSSG.

Free; seats limited to 15. Register here.
