One Shared Story

May 4, 2023

One Shared Story is a nonprofit educational organization founded in 2018 to preserve, protect and promote hidden history. In addition to making resources available to community partners by providing training and through hosted Omeka services, the organization uses the online mapping platform – ArcGIS. These shared best practices and technology resources allow our friends and neighbors to develop and control shared access to precious historic artifacts and to provide tools, like Story Maps, so that those closest to these histories can tell their own stories. Join us for a summary of our work and an introductory training about using ArcGIS Online as a trusted community collaborator. Bring your own device to follow along live as we map history together (laptop or tablet is best but there are also smartphone tips and tricks).
