Discover how to find relevant maps, and use our georeferenced, side by side and spy tool viewers. You will then have an opportunity to explore the Map Images website on computers at Kelvin Hall, supported by library staff.
This session will last approximately 60 minutes, including time for questions. All materials will be provided.
