Making Maps

We are a research cluster, run by PGR students from the South, West and Wales Doctoral Training Partnership. We are made up of students from across the humanities in disciplines such as English, archaeology, history, film, philosophy, and languages.

Figures in the Landscape, SWW DTP research cluster

<H2>A morning of learning how to make and annotate simple modern and historic maps, for SWW DTP students. </H2>
This half-day training event is aimed at those who are new to making maps to visualise data for their thesis. This is peer-to-peer training, run by members of the cluster for any interested SWW DTP students.
We will cover the basics that allow you to make simple but effective maps using both Google Maps and Digimap. We will start with looking at where we find new and old maps online and how we can use them. We’ll then move on to adding information to maps, and importing journeys or points from things like hand-held GPS. We will not be covering more complex GIS systems such as ArcGIS or QGIS but will finish by signposting to some next steps, and the cluster is also planning to have a more advanced session later in the year.  
The day will start with coffee at 9:30am and finish with lunch at 1pm, with time for a tea break in the middle. It is, of course, free to attend and lunch is included.
