About this webinar

This presentation will suggest strategies to correlate large amounts of information often developed in urban research, with a significant emphasis on the use of cartographic resources. Generally, researchers of urban settings have an abundance of sources to consider. Many times, the challenge is to connect and analyze multiple, even overwhelming, amounts of information. A variety of resources will be discussed, especially, cadastral maps (land ownership), Sanborn fire insurance maps and city directories.

    Soundly packed with excellent information – Rick Sayre provides well thought-out practical applications using Geography and Genealogy, soundly undergirded with the Genealogy Proof Standard and professional considerations. One for the “repeat” button, definitely!

    My relatives usually lived at least one block past the edge of the zone valuable enough for insurance maps! But what great examples of correlation, and was happy to save and print out the huge handout.
