For this course, I will be completing a GIS internship with
the Florida Public Archaeology Network. I will be creating a Storymap or web
map for a website redesign. It will include cemeteries, historic buildings
and districts, archaeology sites, museums, the maritime archaeology trail, and
other locations in Escambia county. Expanding it to
include other counties as needed and time allows. It would be
accessed by the public, local community, and FPAN staff for planning and
outreach. I have started background /planning research to determine what kind
of format I want the map to be in.
I looked around for a good user group in Ohio for a while
because that is where I will probably be moving back to after I finish my MA.
Though, I was unable to find any active ones I was interested in. Instead, I
chose the user group GIS
and Archaeology on Linkedin As the name suggests, this is an
archaeology focused GIS user group. It is a digital user group so there are
people from all over the US and possibly internationally. There are no formal
membership requirements. They only ask you to keep discussions related to
archaeological applications of GIS and no advertising. I want to join this
group because I am getting my MA in historical archaeology along with my
graduate GIS certificate.
