Data Visualization Using FromThePage Data

June 13, 2022 by Ana Bastida

Megan Firestone, the head of special collections at the Smith Library Center at Southwestern University, shared this map based on the diary of Zenas Matthews, transcribed by a volunteer. Each location on the map shows a page from Matthews' diary that was written in the area. This data visualization was created using ArcGIS StoryMaps.
