4 : Extract Data

Assignment

Transform your bibliography into mappable data.

Tasks

  • Carefully read your sources. Identify and record references to places, addresses, or regions.
  • Enter this information into a spreadsheet with the following columns:
    • Address/place name
    • Latitude & longitude
    • Source text + citation
    • Annotation (why this site is significant)
    • Here’s an example of a well-prepared spreadsheet.
  • Aim to collect at least 60 entries.  For the project, an abundance of data is helpful, so the more entries, the better.
