for getting started with GIS I would totally recommend OSGeoLive http://live.osgeo.org/

I haven't delved into this yet but I've been collecting websites that may be useful. The Geospatial Historian website has introductory lessons in GIS for historians in a similar vein to the Programming Historian. The Historical GIS Clearinghouse and Forum may also be a useful resource. The University of Virginia's Spatial Humanities may also have useful stuff for us.

Have you had a look at Neatline? Lots of great examples on their demo page.

I am also interesting in talking about mapping, especially to share stories about a collection dispersed over several locations. Has anyone had experience using for example QR codes? Do people actually use them? What other technologies might work that are cheap and easy to use?
