[MAAP] showcases historic sites and people in the city, ranging from the familiar (the African Burial Ground) to the rarely acknowledged.
-- New York Times, March 2008
Mapping the African American Past (MAAP) aims to enhance the appreciation and study of significant sites and moments in the history of African Americans in New York from the early 17th-century through the recent past. Visitors can browse a multitude of locations in New York and read encyclopedic profiles of historical people and events associated with these locations. The site is further enhanced by selected film and music clips; digitized photographs, documents, and maps from Columbia University's libraries; and commentary from Columbia faculty and other specialists.
Mobile version notes: : MAAPm is an abridged version of the main MAAP site. MAAPm includes all locations found on the main site. Each entry includes a textual description, a reading of the description by NYC high school students, audio and video expert commentary on most entries, "then" and "now" images, and a place locator map, enough information to allow for informative walking trips.
This project was developed by CCNMTL in partnership with Columbia University's Teachers College and Curriculum Concepts International (CCI) and funded with generous support of the JPMorgan Chase Foundation .
Mapping the African American Past (MAAP) was made possible by a grant from the JPMorgan Chase Foundation and was produced by the Columbia Center for New Media Teaching and Learning (CCNMTL) in partnership with Teachers College and Creative Curriculum Initiatives (CCI).
The MAAP Mobile (MAAPm) was produced by CCNMTL.
