The Geospatial Historian, modeled after the Programming Historian, is a “tutorial-based open access textbook for historians and digital humanists that aim to teach digital mapping and GIS skills.” Current lessons include Google Maps and Google Earth, Installing QGIS and Adding Layers, Creating New Vector Layers, and Georeferencing. The site editors are looking for additional contributions – contact jim.clifford@usask.ca to join the project.
