The Digital Humanities Core (DHC) along with UH Libraries invites those interested in learning ArcGIS to a Workshop Series taught by Carlos Campos Jr., Digital Research Specialist - ArcGIS Visualizations. This two-session workshop introduces ArcGIS, one of the principal GIS software developed by ESRI, with a focus on starting and finalizing projects that seek to utilize GIS tools.

Registration is required—(link to registration form) (Please note you must be an active member of the UH community to register for this workshop). You can request access to UH’s ArcGIS, but it is not required to attend the workshops.
