NLS - provides fantastic resourcehttp://maps.nls.uk/ Strong digital presence: Georeferenced historic maps, Web Mapping Services, GI projects: VUG, AddressingHistory

EDINA – A National Data Centre (for Higher Education users) Digimap: –OS (OpenData, MasterMap, Colour Raster) –Geology Digimap (BGS on/offshore, rocks) –Historic Digimap (Historic OS ) –Marine Digimap (Charts, bathymetry, wrecks) UKBORDERS: –Census (current/historic) boundaries –Other admin and electoral boundaries EDINA funded by JISC (along with e.g. MIMAS) (JISC funded by research councils and UK government)

MIMAS Sister National Data Centre to EDINA Based at University of Manchester Range of services: –Census Dissemination Unit (CDU) –Web of Knowledge –Landmap – UK Remote Sensing Data incl. LIDAR, high-res DTMs (<= 5m), Radar, Thermalwww.landmap.ac.uk

USGS / NASA / etc. US Geological Survey –Free, but less accurate?, US and global data –Aerial Photos and Satellite Images –Global DEMs and other EO data –Land Cover –Historical Maps – GeoPDF format National Aeronautics and Space Administration –data.NASA –various EO datasets, APIs for web delivery National Oceanic And Atmospheric Administration –Includes NODC – National Oceanographic Data Center –Also see

Census Data Hosted by UK Data Archive at U of Essex Gateway to numerous census data sites: –CDU (MIMAS) – census area stats, postcodes –CIDER (Leeds/St Andrews) – migration/travel –UKBORDERS (EDINA/Edinb.) – boundaries –Others… supply/support data from ONS/GROS/NISRA (UK gov) All funded by ESRC All moving to single UK Data Service (though still distributed: Essex, Manchester, Leeds, S’hampton, UCL)

Qualitative (and Quantitative) Analysis – Digital Humanities Lancaster –Prof. Ian Gregory (ex MSc GIS) – Literary GIS Portsmouth: –Prof. Richard Healey (ex MSc staff) – Historical GIS –Dr. Humphrey Southall OldMapsOnline (International) Great Britain Historical GIS A Vision of Britain through Time Manchester/Open University: –Niall Cunningham / Centre for Research on Socio-Cultural Change The Historical GIS Research Network US Human Geography may make greater use of GIS

New Technologies Visualising the past: –Google Earth Timestamp Perhaps more qualitative? Limited tools Mood maps, routes, derive meaning from visuals –Fuller GIS functionality Qualitative Spatial Analysis possible too, but offers Quantitative/Statistical Analysis of Spatial Data
