“ATL
Maps : Using Archival Resources to Visualize History”
Date
& Time: Wednesday, May 25, 2016 2:00 pm Eastern Daylight Time (New
York, GMT-04:00)
Presenters:
* Brennan Collins, Associate Director of the Center for
Excellence in Teaching and Learning, Georgia State University.
* Joe Hurley, Data Services and GIS Librarian, Georgia
State University.
* Sarah Melton, Digital Projects Coordinator Emory
University Center for Digital Scholarship.
Description:
What happens when you layer a science project on top of a
walking tour on top of an art experiment on top of an archival map on top of
demographic data on top of a memoir? What if the archives of multiple
universities and other institutions could be accessed on one platform and
layered with the projects, stories, and data from researchers, teachers,
students, and community groups? The ATLmaps.com project attempts to answer
these questions. The platform, a collaboration between Georgia State University
and Emory University, combines archival maps, geospatial data visualization,
and user contributed multimedia location pinpoints to promote investigation
into any number of issues about Atlanta. While currently focused on one city to
demonstrate the power of stacking thousands of layers of information on one
place, this innovative online platform will eventually allow users to layer an
increasing number of interdisciplinary data to address the complex issues that
any city poses. The project looks to offer a framework that incorporates
storytelling reliant on geospatial data and for normalizing input across a
range of data sets so that material can be cross-compared in novel ways,
allowing users to make connections between seemingly unrelated data sources and
ask questions that would not be apparent when only looking at one particular
project. The ATLmaps also encourages knowledgeable members of the university
and local communities to curate data on the site to demonstrate the
possibilities for synthesizing material across projects and data types.
In this webinar, we will provide an overview and
demonstration of ATLmaps. We will explain how the platform came out of two
large map digitization projects, faculty development efforts connected to
teaching and learning, and several local documentaries. We will also discuss
roadblocks and successes in the development process- building a geoserver,
copyright issues, search functionality, funding, and working across
disciplinary and institutional boundaries.
