About the workshop

In this one day AACAI and ASWA endorsed workshop for heritage professionals, you'll become familiar with QGIS, the free and open source desktop GIS used by millions.

Whether you're starting from scratch or simply want to fill gaps in your knowledge, we follow a systematic approach that benefits beginners and experienced professionals alike.

Using heritage-related data like Native Title, Aboriginal Heritage Sites, and proposed work programs, we'll explore how to bring multiple datasets together to explore, analyse, and present your data to a professional standard.
