The following video is the result of a digital history assignment that I’m currently taken. The assignment tasked us with using digital methods to examine a significant or interesting landscape and naturally I chose the site of the Riding Mountain Park Labour Project in Manitoba’s Riding Mountain National Park. For those not familiar with it,Continue reading “Lasting Effects: PoWs in Riding Mountain National Park”

Overall, I’m impressed with what ArcGIS has to offer and I’m looking at different ways to incorporate itsContinue reading “Making Progress with HGIS”
GIS on the Go – Part II
In response to my previous posts regarding iGIS and aerial photographs of CFB London, I also set up the images of CFB London that I had georeferenced in my last post so the next time I am at Wolseley Barracks I can see the changes firsthand.

For this past Monday’s Digital History class, we took a field trip to London’s Victoria Park to better understand what Spatial History offers to both historians and the general public. As part of this, we looked at using the free iOS App iGIS. With the ability to visualize GIS data, including georeferenced images, on aContinue reading “GIS on the Go”
London HGIS Calling!

The program of choice is Quantum GISContinue reading “London HGIS Calling!”
