SUMMARY: Georeferencing: Turning Scanned Maps into GIS Data
DESCRIPTION:
 Participants will learn how to georeference objects 
 such as a historic map or aerial photo 
 and create traced data from it for basic analysis 
 in the open source software QGIS. Georeferencing 
 is the process of giving objects such 
 as scanned historic maps or aerial imagery 
 spatial information so they can be used in variety 
 of ways in a GIS, for example: to extract 
 historic data, as base maps to combine with 
 other datasets for visualization, or to share 
 on the web in a web based GIS.\n\n
