Mapping History Project: Stories of the Southwest
The Mapping History Project animates Indigenous and Latin history within the larger Southwest, from the early 16th century through modern times. The Arizona State University School of Transborder Studies (STS) and Arizona Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies (ACMRS) have partnered to develop a prototype website to host dynamic and interactive digital stories. Text and image are interwoven upon historic maps that are part of the STS collection to visualize the histories, lived experiences, and interactions of various populations and cultures along the U.S.-Mexico border and beyond.
