Locative Projects
Locative Tours Published in Collaboration with Area Teachers on Study Abroad (History Pin, Clio)
Teachers participating in our study abroad cohorts since 2011 have had the opportunity to practice locative storytelling using tools such as History Pin and Clio. Teachers construct joint content-embedded maps with their peers on designated topics and some opt to develop individual locative tours to represent cultural themes they are studying in the context of a host city and country. Click the maps below to open a given tour.

Virtual Tours of Historic Russell School (ThingLink, Matterport)
The Locative Press Lab received a small grant from DELTA at NC State to help construct a Matterport-based virtual tour of the Historic Russell School in Durham, the county's last-remaining Rosenwald School. A mockup in ThingLink as shown below was first constructed to identify resources of interest and plan for image capture with the higher-quality Matterport equipment. A final Matterport tour was published in 2023 which contains embedded images and interviews with the school board, community members, and retired school alumni discussing the school's significance to African-American children seeking an education during the era of racial segregation and educational inequities (see go.ncsu.edu/russell.school).
