Historic Maps Georeferencing Project
UVic's collection contains hundreds of historical maps. We are in the process of georeferencing (associating geographic coordinates with the map images) these maps so that they can be used in Geographic Information Systems. This will allow UVic students, faculty, and community members to use these historical maps in research and education projects. This project is a great opportunity to gain some experience working with GIS.
