Overlaying Maps in QGIS by Georeferencing

This video will demonstrate how to use QGIS (open source) to overlay a scanned historic map on a current street map using georeferencing.

Thank you!! my current internship requires me to do qgis but due to the pandemic, I'm learning qgis by myself and you've saved my life!!

thank you RIT, you have made the topic so easy for me

Thanks for that, though the detailed options have changed by qgis 3.12 in 2020, and the OpenLayers plugin is not available, though I found the QuickMapServices one did the same thing

Hi sir, thanks for this clear and concise tutorial.
The issue I ran into is after overlaying, only the coordinates show up but not the image itself.
Could you point me out why? :)

Maybe in the video you chose .PNG file, and I used .JPG file. Is this the reason why my final overlaying image does not show up? Only cooridinates showed, and I checked the transparency it's 0.0

sir,
instead of deselecting the historic map, can we turn historic map from Opaque to transparency so that we can see both map at same time .

coordinate reference system selector does not pop up for me where can I get it?

Great tutorial but is that a party I hear in the background? Sounds like a fun library to me
