This set of labs is designed to illustrate and reinforce principles presented in Volume II: Technical Issues in GIS of the NCGIA Core Curriculum in GIS (units 26 to 50). Since several of these labs were originally prepared in early 1989 for the test version of the Curriculum, they have been presented to students a number of times and have undergone extensive revision. New labs have also been added to the original set. While these labs are written for a specific software and hardware configuration, they are presented as models for generic lab development and can be modified to suit other configurations and curriculum. To assist with this task, digital versions of the text are included.
