The Programming Historian 2: Georeferencing in QGIS 2.0

(View Complete Item Description)

In this lesson, you will learn how to georeference historical maps so that they may be added to a GIS as a raster layer. Georeferencing is required for anyone who wants to accurately digitize data found on a paper map, and since historians work mostly in the realm of paper, georeferencing is one of our most commonly used tools. The technique uses a series of control points to give a two-dimensional object like a paper map the real world coordinates it needs to align with the three-dimensional features of the earth in GIS software (in Intro to Google Maps and Google Earth we saw an ‘overlay’ which is a Google Earth shortcut version of georeferencing).
