Unfortunately I have had to withdraw from THATCamp for family health reasons.

I know nothing at all about this but am definitely interested, especially in terms of how to apply mapping (likely Google) to literary texts.

I was thinking along more elementary lines for a workshop – as in, how do you work with something like QGIS.

If this is going to get off the ground, we should specify what we mean by GIS in particular. I’ve begun to work with the open-source platform QGIS (www.qgis.org/), but I’m also finding that Google Earth and GMap serve many of the functions we need as humanists. I’d be happy to join this conversation, for sure, particularly if it means moving in the direction of historical cartography and geo-referencing / geo-rectifying the layers of time and space in a flexible platform.

I would definitely go to a workshop on GIS!

We can probably make that happen. Lots of GIS expertise here at Northeastern we can draw on. Thanks for the suggestion!

Yes, I would too.
