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.
