Regional Historical Artifact Mapping

A crowdsourced, GIS-based platform for local historical societies to map and document the location, ownership, and condition of localized, non-museum historical artifacts.

🎯The Problem

Local history is lost because small, non-professional groups lack the tools to map and log non-public historical assets (e.g., local markers, specific farm structures).

💡The Solution

A mobile app that allows verified users to geo-tag, photograph, and log condition/history data for historical assets in their county.

👥Target Users

Local Historical Societies, Genealogists, Community Heritage Groups, Regional Planners
