GIS / Mapping Working Group

The Geographic Information Systems (GIS) / Mapping working group is a network of CUNY students, faculty and staff who are interested in sharing methods and techniques, and finding support from others about ways GIS can be used to further research and teaching.

The GIS/Mapping working group is part of a GC Digital Initiatives program designed to create collaborative communities of Digital Fellows, CUNY-wide graduate students, staff, and faculty to meet regularly and share their areas of interest. The working groups provide a sustained, supportive environment to learn new skills, share familiar skills, and collaborate with both the Digital Fellows and the CUNY digital community.

If you are using Geographic Information Systems or other mapping technologies in your teaching and/or research, or if you are interested in mapping your data, or using GIS technology to analyze/visualize your data, we invite you to join the GIS/Mapping working group.

Peruse our mapping resource bank here: https://commons.gc.cuny.edu/groups/gis-working-group/docs/gis-mapping-resources/

For the Spring 2024 semester, the GIS/Mapping working group will meet in the Digital Scholarship Lab, Room 7414, every other Tuesday from 2-4 p.m. Check out our event calendar for the specific meeting dates. Please stop by!

    Abstract: Instead of principally thinking of maps as the outcome of digital
    humanities research, Machine Learning opens the door to investigating very
    large collections of maps as input. On both the “Living with Machines” and
    Machines Reading Maps projects, I have worked with a range of library
    partners to create datasets inferred from the content of these collections.
    This talk explores the design of our data creation methods (in particular
    our software library MapReader), how open and reproducible digital research
    can support humanistic inquiry, and why these approaches allow us to not
    only understand, but analyze, maps in new ways.
