Maps for family and local history

Find out how maps can help with your family history or local history research in this introductory talk and question and answer session.

Maps can provide a window into the past for family and local history researchers. In this session you will learn about different types of historical maps and the rich information they can provide. We will then showcase the Map images website, where there are over 250,000 historical maps available to view. Discover how to find relevant maps, and use our georeferenced, side by side and spy tool viewers. There will be a question and answer session at the end.

This workshop will not be recorded but it is repeated regularly and resource handouts are given to attendees.
