I created this piece using primarily using Google Maps. I got most of my images from the Northeast Minnesota History Center. I wanted to embed video, but the current google maps only allows still images. Also all the still images had to be hosted online somewhere. I created umn blog of the original files for solely for this purpose.
The user can interact with the piece by exploring the Twin Ports in a new historical context. They can choose a point of interest based on location and type of topic.

Overall it was a success. One major problem is that I am working with suppressed histories, thus the information out there is minimal. However there are still many more sites I could have add. I'd like to pursue a UROP to expand on this project.
