MAPS Focus Day at Richmond Villa for SAG

A successful day on 5th October with a small group of people wanting to learn where maps could be sourced for using in their family history research and to help tell the story of their ancestors.

Michael Smith, Archivist at City of Sydney also gave a presentation on what is happening with the celebrations for the 175th anniversary of the creation of the Council in 1842. They are also planning to update their databases so that their is a geospatial interface to the data underpinning locations within the city. Looking forward to it!!
