A research project in three parts, showing how the layering of multiple datasets over both the present-day map of Paris and selected historical maps can illuminate the timeline of the city’s settlement to the modern day through existing, tangible artifacts. This methodology might be used to scientifically discover and predict future archaeological findings via hot spot analysis or could simply serve as an exploratory or educational tool. It also presents a role that cultural institutions and digital humanities can take in preserving history and making it relevant through new technologies.
This research is visualized in three final products: A poster, a web map, and a storymap visualization.
