 The Keweenaw Time Traveler is partnering with Wayne State University and Michigan Tech University's Social Sciences Department on a pioneering project that will bring together scholars, students and professionals from around the world to explore the emerging field of deep mapping. The joint initiative, called the NEH Community Deep Mapping Institute, will be led by the Keweenaw Time Traveler, and the Hamtramck Spatial Archaeology Project teams and is supported by a $250,000 grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH). The Institute will run for one year, beginning in January 2025. It will operate virtually throughout the year and also includes an immersive, two-week on-site component that will take place in the Keweenaw Peninsula and at Michigan Technological University in July 2025 and aims to host a diverse group of 40 fellows from around the world. The Institute will fund fellows or teams of fellows who wish to learn the range of skills necessary to create their own public-facing deep map. The goal being to create a diverse group of fellows including students, early career to senior scholars, and professionals in history and heritage who work with public audiences including public historians, interpreters, and those who work in museums, parks, and historic sites and houses. Applicants selected to be fellows will receive a stipend to support travel to and from the Keweenaw. Fellows will be in residence at the Laurium Manor Inn during their time in the region. You can learn more about the criteria and apply for a fellowship on the Deep Mapping Institute website!  More News on the NEH Deep Mapping Institute
