This workshop is designed for anyone interested in finding/sharing a do-it-yourself tool or platform that can be used to map the movement of people, culture, ideas, etc., across place and time. The presenters will include 11 University of Central Florida graduate students working with the Florida State Parks on the “Wish You Were Here” project, which focuses on six historic state parks that originated as private resorts/attractions in the roadside/auto-tourism era. A series of lightning-round presentations will address the following tools/platforms from the perspective (in most cases) of first-time or novice users:

  • StoryMapJS (Callie Henson, Carly VanZandt)
  • MapStory (Drew Fulcher)
  • Google Earth (Marcus Berzon)
  • Google Maps (Jim Poppino)
  • RICHES MI (Mark Barnes)
  • HistoryPin (Sarah Thorncroft, Porsha Dossie)
  • QMedia/YouTube (David Morton)
  • TripLine (Rebecca Schwandt)
  • HistoryInMotion (Fernando Maldonado)
  • MapScholar (BobClarke)
  • Neatline (Bob Clarke)

Please join us and share your thoughts on finding the right mapping tool for your project.
