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!

Visualizing the NEH Open Data

    Hello fellow GIS users,

    As you probably know, a few weeks ago the government announced budget cuts for the National Endowment for the Humanities. The GC Digital Fellows started gathering the data from the official websites in order to show/visualize what projects have been receiving funding, where, and try to raise awareness on the importance of these grants and how people have benefitted from them.

    Following this, write you not only to share with you this thorough article published and nourished by our team, but also to invite you to play with this data and create your own maps.

    Link to the article: https://digitalfellows.commons.gc.cuny.edu/2017/04/04/visualizing-neh-open-data/

    What do you think of the maps presented? What other maps you think would be great to have? Would you be interested in giving it a shot to create these maps? If you do, please share them with us, we’d be happy to see them and pass them around.

    Best,

     

    Javier
