  9. Explore alternative ways to explore images by location • Some options include: • • The implementation of an interactive map • • The development of a secondary navigation system featuring neighborhoods • In order to address confusion about neighborhood boundaries over time, we recommend exploring the following options: • • Geotags • • Links to other relevant neighborhoods on image pages • • A guide outlining the historical change of neighborhoods • • Visual tools, such as maps or timelines, that depict how neighborhoods have changed over time Usability Test and Report Testing done by Prof. Craig Macdonald and CHART students Right – Recommendation 9 of 17. Work in Progress on use of visualization Many of usability test recommendations have been implemented.

  10. Digital Convergence & Commonalities Across Libraries, Archives and Museums Increasingly we see the world and ourselves as well in digital images - our digital self and reflections now seem real, or more so, as the space between real and digital blurs in our imagination and in reality.
