Historical Atlas of South India

In the framework of the "Historical Atlas of South India" project, the IFP organised a 3-day training course from April 5th to 7th, for the indian universities involved in the project. It was a theoretical and practical introduction to GIS (Geographic Information System), and a training for entering archaeological, historical and spatial data. The emphasis was set on the import of data within a GIS (ArcInfo / ArcView) from a spreadsheet (Excel) and from a GPS (Garmin), and also on the checking and visualisation of data with the GIS.

This training was directed towards the personnel of the partnering universities of this project :Tamil University of Thanjavur (Tamil Nadu), Mahatma Gandhi University of Kottayam (Kerala), Mangalore University (Karnataka) and Central University of Hyderabad (Andhra Pradesh).
