Create a layer in the Gazetteer of Historical Australian Placenames using metadata from Trove’s digitised maps
Trove includes thousands of digitised maps, created and published across the last few centuries. You want to create a collection of maps relating to your area of interest and explore it using the Gazetteer of Historical Australian Placenames (GHAP). You know it’s possible to add layers to GHAP, but how do you get the data from Trove in a format that can be uploaded as a layer?
This tutorial from the Trove Data Guide walks through the complete process step-by-step.
