GIS Workshop: Georeferencing a Map – Putting Old Maps & Aerial Photos on Your Map

Event Info

  • Date: Wednesday, 09/26/2018
  • Time: 2:00PM-3:00PM
  • Place: Alderman Library, Room 421

Would you like to see historic map overlaid on modern aerial photography?  Do you need to extract features of a map for use in GIS?  Georeferencing is the first step.  We will show you how to take a scan of a paper map and align in it in ArcGIS.

All sessions are one hour and assume participants have no previous experience using GIS.  Sessions will be hands-on with step-by-step tutorials and expert assistance.  All sessions will be taught on Wednesdays from 2PM to 3PM in the Alderman Electronic Classroom, ALD 421 (adjacent to the Scholars’ Lab) and are free and open to the UVa and larger Charlottesville community.  No registration, just show up!
