Friday, February 3, 4:00-6:00 PM: Mapping an Historic District: New Tools for Historical Research and Preservation in Chestertown: Washington College's Center for Environment & Society and its Geographic Information Systems Lab have teamed up with the Town of Chestertown to provide a new GIS for the local historic district. John Seidel of the Center for the Environment will explain how the system provides historic map overlays and other information on the town's development. While oriented toward preservation and managing the town's historic structures, the project also is providing a wealth of data that may interest historians and family researchers. Find out where the project is headed and how it may be available to the public.
