    The Quantum Geographical Information System is a large constantly updated freeware package used widely for producing good quality digital maps covering a wide range of activities. Using a simple step-by-step approach we will concentrate initially on the production of maps and diagrams suitable for use in local history and archaeology. Later we will diversify into other types of map and diagram according to the interests of class participants. The classes will all be practical sessions and you should bring a fully charged laptop. By having fortnightly meetings there will be time for you to produce your own projects for display and discussion.
