ArcGIS StoryMaps is a digital storytelling tool that allows you to combine interactive maps with narrative text, images, and multimedia. With the rise of geographic information systems (GIS), accessible online tools and modes of publication, digital mapping has become a powerful tool for underrepresented and marginalized communities to tell their own stories, resisting colonial narratives and visualizing erased histories. With ArcGIS tools, communities can combine oral histories, archival documents, and interactive tours.
In this hands-on workshop, participants will:
-
Learn how mapping and spatial analysis are being used to visualize underrepresented and marginalized communities
-
Understand how to tell engaging spatial narratives
-
Navigate the ArcGIS StoryMaps interface
-
Create an interactive StoryMap
No experience necessary. Please bring a laptop to the workshop.
