Happy
Birthday Your Majesty: Mapping the
Travels of Queen Elizabeth II
Today
is the 90th birthday of Queen Elizabeth II. Last September when she became the longest
reigning monarch of the United Kingdom, The
Telegraph published an online map showing all of the countries Queen
Elizabeth has visited. (The map was
created using ESRI GIS software).
Elizabeth
has reigned since 1952, and during that time she has visited 116
countries. The queen visited
Commonwealth country Canada 24 times and Australia 16 times. Elizabeth visited the United States five
times. Her first visit came during the
presidency of Dwight Eisenhower in 1957, and her last visit was in 2010 with
President George W. Bush.
The
Ball State University Libraries’ GIS Research and Map Collection (GRMC)
consolidates one-on-one research assistance from the GIS Specialist with the
GIS Research Area, which offers access to ESRI GIS software and to online GIS
tutorials, datasets, online mapping applications, and in-house GIS data.
For
more information about using GIS software, please contact the GRMC at
