Generally, digital mapping can be divided between narrative maps, that is, maps that follow a path and tell a story, and data-driven maps, or maps that are focused on visualizing various large sets of data (such as GIS). Today we will focus&nbsp; on maps that tell narratives using the ArcGIS Story Maps and Knight Lab StoryMapJS tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Before the Workshop<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li> Watch this <a href=\"https:\/\/gettysburg.ensemblevideo.com\/Watch\/dssf21-mapping\">introduction to mapping<\/a> (45:22).

Scalar works differently than WordPress and Omeka, in that it is an interconnected &#8220;web&#8221; of pages and media, connected by paths and tags, but it can be used to create dynamic, nonlinear websites. Think of Scalar as more akin to those old &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Choose_Your_Own_Adventure\">choose your own adventure<\/a>&#8221; novels, in that you give your users options to pick what path they want to go down. Today we will review Scalar and try to see if we can make something happen with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Before the Workshop<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>DSSFs: Today&#8217;s pre-work is a bit different, and can be accomplished as a group. You will probably want to spend a small amount of time working on it during the week as a group. We want you to be creative and put us in Albert Chance&#8217;s shoes and give us some choices as to what he is doing next based on the materials in the collection. In reality, he had to go where the Army told him to go &#8230; but what if he had some choices? Here&#8217;s a <a href=\"https:\/\/dssf.musselmanlibrary.org\/2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/dssf21-a-day-in-the-life.png\">possible way to visualize<\/a> this sort of choose your own adventure path.
