Mapping Historic Black Life on Boston's Beacon Hill
Digital humanities and GIS project to facilitate discovery of resources depicting Black history in 18th and 19th century Boston.
This is a prototype for Mapping Black Boston, a research project by David Weimer. Dave, our former Map Librarian, is now Curator of Maps and Director of the Center for the History of Cartography at the Newberry Library. For information on the project, or to collaborate, you can get in touch with Dave.
