IAP 2004 Activity


History Anytime, Anywhere, and for Anyone
Rosalind Williams, Eric Heller
Thu Jan 15, 01:30-06:00pm, MIT Museum (N52-200)

No limit but advance sign up required (see contact below)
Single session event

Imagine being able to go anywhere in the US and access information about the history, geography, or science of the place where you're standing, while you're standing there! The National Heritage Database is a collaborative project based in the MIT Program in Science, Technology, and Society (STS), and includes the MIT Museum and faculty from Harvard. The goal of the Project is to increase people's knowledge of their surroundings by creating a nationwide outdoor museum, where a wide variety of historical information about a location can be accessed by anyone using GPS-enabled portable electronics. The IAP session is aimed at refining the Project's concept with the input of the MIT community.
