This project explores the idea of real-world mapping practices in the Digital Humanities. This module will walk you through the creation of a Digital Map using DH tools.
Estimated Completion Time: 3 Hours
Mapping in the digital humanities is about recognizing the social constructions of place, rethinking the power structures that have historically been a part of cartography, and re-imagining how we tell stories about time and place in humanist scholarship. This module provides relevant knowledge on digital humanities mapping and the tools that allow scholars to tell more complex stories with the maps they create by adding elements such as layering, annotations, and qualitative and quantitative analysis of GIS data to gain complex understandings of spaces.
