Mapping Urban Communities with Google Earth Pro: Part One
10:30–11:45 am Instructor: Greene
This session will demonstrate techniques for reconstructing an urban Mexican community using historical maps overlaid on present-day jurisdictions and streets in Google Earth Pro. Weaving in data from censuses, city directories, and vital records, you'll learn how to plot out where extended family groups lived and worked and get a better sense of the community in which they lived. Additionally, you'll learn ways in which digital tools such as Google Earth Pro and StoryMaps can be used to highlight and share stories about historical neighborhoods and the families who lived there.
