Historical Maps as Data (and How to Use Them)

Historical maps are fascinating objects and often beautiful to look at. However, they are often underutilized as research tools. Did you know that maps are data visualizations?

In this 50-minute session, we’ll discuss the hows and whys behind historical maps as data and then discuss how you can use them in your own research. No prior experience with maps is required and this session welcomes those from any and all research backgrounds.

This workshop will be offered via Zoom. Register to receive the Zoom invitation information the day of the workshop.

Instructor: Maggie Tarmey, Humanities and Social Sciences Librarian
