The Institute of Historical Research

The Institute of Historical Research (London) is offering a short course, 'Historic Maps: Interpreting Stories of Place,' from 28 to 30 January, 2026. Understanding a map not only depends on reading it well but also on how and, most importantly, why it was created. This new Historic Maps Discovery Training will cover large-scale local maps of both urban and rural areas, considering genres such as estate plans, town plans and national cartographic projects of the nineteenth century (i.e. the Ordnance Survey).
