Heritage GIS – GIS Services, Geospatial Technology

Cartography

Maps are an effective way to communicate spatial awareness of present and past events. Accurate, realistic base maps can provide your organization or project with a strategic visual data representation.

Analysis

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) analysis can provide additional layers of understanding based on geographical data. This type of analysis can facilitate decision-making since GIS information can be scaled to the needs of the organization or project.

Historical GIS

Historical cartographic collections can provide interesting insights by using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) digitization techniques. Many old maps can have a second life after digitization, which can create better access to museum, academic and private collections.
