Mapping Humanities Data

Learn from Dr. Kayla Stan (Assistant Professor of Geography - GIS Science) and Dr. Patrick Hoehne (Assistant Professor of History & Digital Humanities) about the basics of Geographic Information Systems and how to map humanities data with digital tools!

These tutorials are possible through the partnership between USM’s Center for Digital Humanities and Geography & Geology of the School of Biological, Environmental, and Earth Sciences (BEES) at Southern Miss.
