Digital History Tasmania Layers

Digital History Tasmania is a not-for-profit organization that images, transcribes, cleans, codes and links historical records.  The layers contained hear consist of spatial data included in the Digital History Tasmania (DHT) locations dataset. All spatial cordinates are derived from Land Information Systems Tasmania (LIST). The identifiers are the location IDs developed for the DHT database. Note that the database is continually updated and these updates flow through to these map layers via an API.
