We are really excited about this project by Molly Nebiolo, a digital humanities fellow at the American Philosophical Society. Nebiolo plans to use digital modeling software to bring historic maps into three dimensions. This includes Elfreth’s Alley…
StreetView Scavenger Hunt

At the same time, I was trying to figure out how to share our museum with the world when our museum needed to stay shut and the world, for the most part, needed to stay home.
I took to Instagram, and began posting prompts for a Google StreetView scavenger hunt.
