Course Credit: 0.25
Population censuses, economic figures, survey data, and maps are all important sources of evidence about the past. This course provides practical training in creating data visualizations that help tell a convincing story and strengthen your historical argument. We’ll cover where to find historical data, what kinds of graphs and charts are most appropriate for the evidence you have, and how to use visual design to communicate your ideas effectively.
