This Friday, Dr. Don Lafreniere (Project Director) presented the Keweenaw Time Traveler at Northern Michigan University (available here). NMU puts on an annual event, called the Sonderegger Symposium, which focuses on the social aspects (and challenges) of the Upper Peninsula. While there, Dr. Lafreniere discussed the creation of the Time Traveler and its importance for helping local history come to life through historical maps and data linkages. The next phase of the project, which we are incredibly excited about, involves bringing our methods and lessons learned to other communities and helping jumpstart similar projects. He was also able to demonstrate how to use the Time Traveler, with all the different types of maps and data available.
