Mapping the History and Memory FOR and WITH the Whitely Community in Muncie

AG5I1267.jpg

The Whitely Community is a traditionally African American neighborhood in Muncie that, from a historical point of view, has not been “on the map”, both literally and metaphorically. The aim of this interdisciplinary immersive learning project is to produce paper and virtual maps together with the neighborhood association and the broader community to tell personal histories of Whitely in time and space. Special emphasis is given to so-called story maps that combine individual accounts, memories of place, images and videos and allow map users to navigate through the past and present of the neighborhood.
