Displaying a Georeferenced Map in KnightLab's StoryMap JS

Authors
Topics:

Georeferencing is the process of assigning geographic coordinates to a scanned map or raster image. Many historians are now georeferencing historical maps to study how places have changed over time. After georeferencing a historic map, you may want to display it online to share your research or tell a story. In this lesson from Programming Historian, we will show you how to share a georeferenced map online using StoryMap JS, an interactive web-based mapping platform. StoryMap JS is an open-source tool from Knight Lab at Northwestern University, which allows you to integrate historical and contemporary maps into interactive stories.

Learning Outcomes

After completing this lesson, you will be able to:

  • Customize and share a georeferenced map online using StoryMap JS, an interactive web-based mapping platform
