The long awaited QGIS for Census and Survey mapping manual has been published and is now available online.

QGIS for Census and Survey Mapping consists of the following key chapters: 

• First steps in QGIS; 
• Point layers: 
• Household locations (basic vector analysis); 
• Polygon layers: Enumeration areas (basic vector analysis); 
• Polygon layers: Enumeration areas (advanced vector analysis); 
• Automated map production; 
• Working with rasters (terrain data); 
• Data management and storage: 
• Spatial databases – Geopackage; and 
• Metadata.

SPC acknowledges the support of Australia’s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade for ongoing financial support to regional census and survey activities; the numerous interns who tested and proofread the manual; and the QGIS development community for making such a good open-source package.
