Using Maps in your Research (Educational Opportunities)
2:00 pm to 4:00 pm TBD
Please join us for our February monthly business meeting, approximately 20 minutes. The business meeting will be followed by a live webinar presented by Cari Taplin, entitled "From Deeds to Dirt: Case Studies in Analyzing Research with Maps."

What would they have seen? How did they get around? Cari will examine various ways researchers can use maps to traqce their ancestors and their research. Some of the topics will cover:
- A look at different types of maps
- Tech tricks for using maps such as Google Maps' "My Places"
- Using maps to determine possible migration routes
- Using collected research to recreate neighborhoods
- Using maps as an alternative(or additional) research log
- Online map collections
- Mini-case studies to illustrate using maps for analysis
