*Workshop: Pragmatic Mapping for the Humanities, 15 - 16 April, Univ. of
Sydney*



If you want to get a good introduction to understanding spatial data and
learning how to create maps quickly and easily, this workshop is for you.



The workshop will cover free and low-cost sources of map data (including
digitising and geo-referencing printed maps), methods for collecting and
analysing location data, and simple methods for creating printed maps and
interactive maps on the web. It is an opportunity to develop a new set of
skills and should interest anyone who wishes to use geographic location to
interpret data or present information through maps - researchers and
teachers, museum curators and exhibition designers, librarians and
archivists, web developers and graphic designers etc.



Examples will be drawn from a wide range - anthropology, archaeology, art
history, digital encyclopaedias, history, linguistics, news media, religious
studies, research networks, theatre, urban and settlement studies etc.



The workshop is aimed at Humanities scholars, graduate students and
professionals who need an introduction to the collection and use of location
data and the creation of maps.
