- Abstract
The Geography of Inequities project aims to document the history of slave auctions and sales in the Commonwealth of Virginia through crowd-sourced data collection and research, the construction of an online platform to host detailed geographic and historical documentation of each sale, and producing compelling educational material by harnessing ESRI Story Maps and Omeka web-exhibits. The novel integration of a digital-humanities based platform with participatory GIS presents a promising opportunity to expand the horizons of open-source data collection and the potential for powerful geography-based storytelling in public history.
