Mapping – THATCamp Organization of American Historians 2014 http://oah2014.thatcamp.org The Humanities and Technology Camp Wed, 09 Apr 2014 12:54:16 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.9.12 Animating maps http://oah2014.thatcamp.org/2014/04/04/animating-maps/ Fri, 04 Apr 2014 16:04:34 +0000 http://oah2014.thatcamp.org/?p=194

I am interested to learn from someone who is technologically savvy about the tools and methods needed for animating historical maps to show spatial and temporal movement. For instance:

I’d also like to discuss the value and potential of having undergraduate students animate maps in upper division history courses.

I want to create computer models of real-life social networks in history.  My research interests have to do with educational, literary, and religious networks, but anything goes.    If anyone else is working on that or interested, I would love to talk with you.    I am taking baby steps in this direction and I want to explore issues of methodology, software tools, models of existing projects,  etc.
