To Berenice Ortega,
As a PhD student in, basically, landscape history - my first BA in 1970 was in Geography; my second, in 1994, was in Local and Regional History - I was very interested to read your e-mial via the Local History list. The only problem is that, when I tried to access the address for the booking form, all I could get was the details of the course which was held in February, or one for September in Lancaster! Could you please give me an address which will allow me to find out more about the October course in London and a booking form for it?
Many thanks,
Mary Carrick (Hull University)

Subject: [LOCAL-HISTORY] Historical GIS: Free one-day workshop and two-day course
During 2007 the ESRC, as part of the Historical Geographical Information
Systems Research Network, is sponsoring a number of free seminars on the
use of GIS to study the past. These will be led by Dr Ian Gregory, author
of A Place in History: A Guide to Using GIS in Historical Research.
Historical GIS is a rapidly growing field within historical research. A
Geographical Information System (GIS) is a form of database management
system within which every row of data is linked to a co-ordinate-based
location. By using GIS historians can structure, integrate, analyse and
visualise the geographies of the past.
The seminars will consist of a mixture of presentations and roundtable
discussions and will help attendees to make better use of GIS in their
research, by considering what exactly GIS has to offer historians, in what
ways historians make, or would like to make, use of GIS in their research
and what technological and methodological issues are faced. They are aimed
at a broad audience including established academics, members of the
heritage sector, junior researchers and post-graduates.
The second seminar will take place in London on 24 October 2007. Places
are limited and booking forms need to be returned by 10 August 2007.
Further details of the seminar, including a downloadable booking form, can
be found at http://ahds.ac.uk/history/hgis/seminar-york.htm
Free Course: Using GIS to research the past
