Overview
Review how to use geographic information system (GIS) technology for applications that go beyond the basics for identification, evaluation, protection, and preservation of cultural resources. From geo referencing historic maps to publishing data online, looking at the latest data sources/types, and producing story maps, there are many innovative ways to use GIS technology to expand the resources available to professionals and the general public.
This seminar is offered in conjunction with ArcGIS for Cultural Resources: An Introduction and Emerging Technologies for Cultural Resources .
