Chris is the Senior Maps Curator at the National Library of Scotland and will join us to explain how to use the map collections for family history. He will demonstrate the key kinds of map that are useful for our research. For example, how maps can reveal detailed information about a local area over time, including buildings, gardens, industries, railways, roads, woodland and agricultural land. Chris will use Cheshire maps as examples during his presentation.
