This document covers some of the process of digitising a hand drawn geological map using Inkscape:

Video tutorials (screencasts)
The following screencasts document the process:
1) In this video I cover setting up the document layer structure, size etc.
2) In this video I cover digitising the unit colours polygon (i.e. colouring in).
3A) In this video I cover a simple method for creating unit boundaries (contacts).
3B) In this video I cover an advanced method for creating unit boundaries (contacts).
4) In this video I cover making symbols for faults, foliation, bedding etc.
(Advanced) In this advanced video I cover editing a topo overlay in Inkscape that was generated in ArcGIS.
5) In this video I cover preparing the map for export, which export settings to use etc.
