Members of the Furman community are creating compelling digital storytelling and mapping websites thanks to ESRI’s ArcGIS StoryMaps software. For the first time, Furman-created StoryMaps are now accessible in one place.

The new Digital Storytelling and Mapping Portal located in the University’s institutional repository (FUSE) allows users to explore a rich selection of StoryMaps created here at Furman. These StoryMaps contain contextual information, primary source documents, timelines, data, research analysis, and interactive mapping utilities. Highlights of the collection include:

• Research projects created in collaboration with the Shi Institute for Sustainable Communities and community partners
• StoryMaps created by students in ART 259 “History of Design” taught by Assistant Professor Kylie Fisher in Spring 2023
• Digital exhibits focusing on Furman’s history.
