Are you interested in exploring your research through digital mapping? Curious to know what’s possible and how to get started? Like the idea of a free and open source software that rivals the industry standard in functionality? Join Digital Scholarship Librarian Daniel Story to learn about QGIS. We’ll go over basic GIS concepts as well as how to get started building a map in this powerful open source GIS software. This workshop will be on Zoom only and is good for beginners to QGIS and/or to digital mapping in general.

Land Acknowledgement

The land on which we gather is the unceded territory of the Awaswas-speaking Uypi Tribe. The Amah Mutsun Tribal Band, comprised of the descendants of indigenous people taken to missions Santa Cruz and San Juan Bautista during Spanish colonization of the Central Coast, is today working hard to restore traditional stewardship practices on these lands and heal from historical trauma.

The land acknowledgement used at UC Santa Cruz was developed in partnership with the Amah Mutsun Tribal Band Chairman and the Amah Mutsun Relearning Program at the UCSC Arboretum.
