Joining and Geocoding in ArcGIS Online

Description

Scanned map images can often provide a historical basemap upon which to layer contemporary data. Georeferencing is the process of aligning a map image to its proper location on the earth's surface.

Through a series of hands-on exercises, participants of this workshop will explore the ins and outs of georeferencing map images. We'll make use of the tool set available in ArcGIS Pro software and also try out an open-source georeferencing product that is freely available online. Participants will practice with Baltimore disease maps from the early 1900s and learn to upload their results to ArcGIS Online.

There is no required perquisite for this class, but previous experience with ArcGIS Desktop or ArcGIS Pro would be highly useful.

This session is run by Data Services.
