Walking Harlem: Refining the Archive and Working with Maps (10/29)

Assignment due: Final Project Proposal rough draft due 11/1; revised draft due 11/8

We will begin class with a discussion of the readings and going over mapping technologies. We will then divide into groups to finish the Walking Harlem project: fleshing out tours, finishing images and tags, and mapping the stops.
