For my final project, I would like to do something very similar to an activity that we did in class a few weeks back. During that class period, we used a website resource called Neatline to track the writings of William Still’s Underground Railroad experiences. This is exactly the type of resource that I believe would make my final project come to fruition.<\/p>\n

With our William Still project, we were able to make points on a map of the United States. These points represented different geographic locations that pertained to William Still’s writings. More importantly, with these points, Neatline enables us to add various texts and metadata to give information about that specific locations relevance to the topic. The information can include people, events, subjects, or basic descriptions of such event and location. This truly enables a map to come to life.<\/p>\n

With my project focusing on the tracking of trading routes and trading posts, this will be a great way for me to bring my information to light in a clear way. With trade, location is very important because they speak to the types of products and information that move through specific regions. With Neatline, it will make it possible for me to label the trading posts, as well as give descriptions of which route it lies on, the types of people engaging in this trade, and types of products that are moving through these regions. It will be a great asset, as this information is very prevalent to the impact that trading had. Being able to clearly link the locations with the relevant information is vital to presenting my project in a positive way.<\/p>\n

As said in Admins<\/a> post, \u201ctextbooks and other educational publications were the most popular among the literature Chambers spread\u201d. Although these written resources are a great way to find and spread informations, the visual aspect of digital maps that can be created by Neatline offer a uniquely perspective that I am excited to create.<\/p>\n
