Historical Mapping - Make Your Own
This video provides a follow-up to the first online mapping tutorial, though it goes more in depth into the actual geo-referencer application associated with the NLS. This tutorial, again, offers a screencast narration of the various features associated with the online mapping programs through the NLS, georeferencer.com, and Google Earth, with a particular emphasis on formatting options. The video also discusses how to make one's one historic map using these programs, and how to add descriptive text boxes to make a great visual learning source for one's own research project.
