Bringing History to Life with GIS

Imagine blending history, culture, and technology to create an interactive experience that helps preserve memories and share untold stories—sounds like magic, right? It’s actually the power of GIS storytelling! We’re diving into the Memory Maps project that uses the tools of the GIS world to connect us to the past and present in ways you may not expect. We’ll chat with the Saint Mary’s University Archaeology Lab team, uncovering how they use digital maps to tell powerful stories and make history come alive. Get ready for a journey that’s as rich in data as it is in culture. Let’s get started!
