Learn how to use Allmaps (allmaps.org) to georeference digitized maps from digital collections. Georeferencing makes it possible to add a historical map layer to a digital map and incorporate these valuable historical objects into digital exhibits, DH projects, and historical and geographic research. We will share tips on how to use Allmaps – a popular open source , browser-based georeferencing tool – and where to find rich troves of compatible digitized historical maps. (Hint: Right here at UWM Libraries!)
