Georeferencing Maps Workshop

Georeferencing Maps Workshop In-Person

Presented by Vanderbilt University Libraries' GIS Lab in collaboration with Special Collections and University Archives with support from The Curb Center for Art, Enterprise & Public Policy.

Join us during Geography Awareness Week and GIS Day for a series of events that highlight the artistry and significance of historical maps! 

In this hands-on workshop, participants will learn how to georeference historical maps using ArcGIS Pro. This process involves aligning historical maps with modern spatial data, providing a new perspective on historical landscapes and their contemporary counterparts. 

Goals: 1) Understand the principles of georeferencing and its importance in historical cartography. 2) Gain familiarity with ArcGIS Pro software and its georeferencing tools.
