Notes: Mapping Together works with clients to use maps and spatial data to research, communicate, and analyze history. Maps help organizations tell their story, whether it is about your membership, a historical primary source, or the layered history of a place. We specialize in historical GIS for organizations doing preservation, public history, and interpretive work. Services include transcribing and mapping archival records into usable spatial data; building interactive story maps that help visitors explore a site's history; and developing GIS-based curriculum and public programming that connects historical sources to place.
We bring a countermapping approach — using spatial analysis to surface histories of marginalized communities often missing from traditional maps and records — with experience ranging from mapping the Green Books in Minnesota to teacher professional development in geospatial history education. Whether you need a one-time mapping project, a story map to accompany an exhibit or grant, or ongoing GIS support, we tailor our approach to your organization's goals, timeline, and budget.
