Around
the World with Queen Elizabeth II
Today,
September 9, 2015, at about 5:30 London time, Queen Elizabeth II became Britain’s
longest reigning monarch, surpassing Queen Victoria. Elizabeth has served 23,226 days (nearly 63
years and seven months). Elizabeth was crowned
on February 6, 1952.
To
commemorate the occasion, The Telegraph created
an interactive map showing the destinations of each of her 265 overseas visits. The map shows arcs of the trips taken each
year and ends with dots marking the locations.
The map was created using ESRI GIS software.
The
Ball State University Libraries’ GIS Research and Map Collection (GRMC) offers
access ESRI GIS software and online GIS tutorials, datasets, online mapping
applications, in-house GIS data, and one-on-one assistance from the GIS
Specialist. GIS software is available on
28 high-end computers in the GRMC and on computers throughout Bracken Library.
For
more information, please contact the GRMC at 765-285-1097.
