Maps can provide a window into the past for family and local history researchers. In this session you will learn about different types of historical maps and the rich information they can provide. We will then showcase the Map Images Website, where there are over 250,000 historical maps available to view. Discover how to find relevant maps, and use our georeferenced, side by side and spy tool viewers. There will be a question and answer session at the end.
