New Publication On Public Participation in the Keweenaw Time Traveler

The Keweenaw Time Traveler Team, lead by Dr. Don Lafreniere, recently published an article entitled "Public Participatory Historical GIS" in Historical Methods: A Journal of Quantitative and Interdisciplinary History.

The article outlines a set of best practices for collaborating with the public to build historical GIS datasets to understand past people and places.  We outline how the 3 'builder' apps were created with help from the community during charrettes in 2017, how the Explore App allows immediate access to publicly-generated data sets, and how the story submission tools function.
