Success!
1.) For practicum 2: I successfully geo referenced a map of the second day’s battle of Gettysburg. In terms of using the geo referenced image as a guide; it will be easier to view and see where key events of the battle occurred. As such, helping Historians and Archeologists to accurately map out locations of these events and designate certain areas of historical and archeological significance.
2.) It depends on what type of map you use to geo reference. Some Google Maps aren’t useful due to using modern locations for historic events. Like what I have found with my project on the Salem Witch Trials, using modern maps and geo referencing might not be the best approach to use. Due to locations changing overtime and the lack of knowledge of where key people lived during the trials.
