Dr. Sarah Scarlett visited Houghton Middle School today. Students used the Keweenaw Time Traveler to connect and explore Houghton's past. Dr. Scarlett also passed out Houghton Bingo for students to try with their families.  The NEH Community Deep Mapping Institute (NEH CDMI) virtual workshops continued yesterday with over 40 fellows in attendance. During this workshop Director Dr. Dan Trepal led a discussion on best practices in Data Linking, the creation of Historical Spatial Data Infrastructures, and Data Management. Each of these topics has played a critical role in building the Keweenaw Time Traveler and are essential components of building deep maps as they allow for the connection of data across time and space. The recording of this virtual workshop and others as they become available can be found on the NEH CDMI Virtual Workshops & Asynchronous Modules webpage. A full schedule of virtual workshops and the in-person institute program can be found on the Schedule page.
