This is the beginning of a map that will trace electric car routes in Atlanta on a 1928 map of the city and hyperlink information about the routes (including pictures, ownership information, descriptions and trivia) to their line drawings.
1. STILL IN TRANSIT Mapping project centered on Atlanta’s electric car-lines built on a 1928 map.
2. MAPPING PROJECT Tracing the routes of electric cars on 50 maps of Atlanta in 1928. Each route comprises line segments without a break: over 700 such lines. Unearthing historical sources for data, anecdotes, photographs. Hyper-linking routes and attaching information to the maps.
23. Using mapping in pedagogy Feminist action: Immediacy of marking sites of harassment/violence; sense of ‘action’. Acquaintance with new place: Understanding, exploring historical records/changes. Combining data and visual to present layered account of space, place and information. Mapping genealogies, relationships, structures? This is an experiment!
