‘Here be hogs’: Maps for local and family history in Hampshire

Monday 19 July, 6.00 pm-7.00 pm

This is an online talk using Zoom. Maps have an instant appeal, giving us insight into the changing appearance over the centuries of our localities or the places where our families lived. This talk will introduce you to some of the key series of maps that cover most places in Hampshire, mainly from the 17th to 20th centuries, and will provide advice on how to use them. It will be illustrated with examples from the collections of Hampshire Record Office, and will also include a few of the more quirky and intriguing maps you can see there.

All you need to attend a talk on Zoom is some basic computer skills and experience in using the internet. Don’t worry if you have not used it before, as we will send you some basic guidance when you book.
