This document summarizes a presentation about an interactive online map project called "On The Line" that chronicles Connecticut history and spatial inequality using GIS technology. The project has received NEH funding to create maps visualizing topics like neighborhood change over time, 1930s redlining maps, comparisons of political boundaries, and animated historical maps. It invites attendees to preview and provide feedback on its work-in-progress maps on the OnTheLine.trincoll.edu website.
