Locative Tours Published in Collaboration with Area Teachers on Study Abroad (History Pin, Clio)
​
Teachers participating in our study abroad cohorts since 2011 have had the opportunity to practice locative storytelling using tools such as History Pin and Clio. Teachers construct joint content-embedded maps with their peers on designated topics and some opt to develop individual locative tours to represent cultural themes they are studying in the context of a host city and country. Click the maps below to open a given tour.

Virtual Tours of Historic Russell School (ThingLink, Matterport)
The Locative Press Lab received a small grant from DELTA at NC State to help construct a Matterport-based virtual tour of the Historic Russell School in Durham, the county's last-remaining Rosenwald School. A mockup in ThingLink as shown below was first constructed to identify resources of interest and plan for image capture with the higher-quality Matterport equipment.
Locative Driving Tours, Commercial Example (Built Story)
As a test case with the Built Story app, Dr. Oliver published a series of locative driving tours in 2021 promoting the shop-local movement in North Carolina's greater Triangle region. Each tour highlights between 48-73 locally-owned shops of a given type:
  • home decor/gift (73 shops; lanterns, candles, frames, bath and body, jewelry, baskets, etc.)
  • antique/vintage (52 shops; antique furniture; used home goods; vintage clothing, etc.)
  • thrift/consignment (55 shops, mixed used items--home goods, furniture, clothing, jewelry)
  • arts/crafts (48 galleries, studios, markets, and museums)
Tours include inside/outside photos of most shops, shop location (map/address), contact info, and any days closed. Each tour traverses Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill and smaller towns on the fringes (i.e., Clayton, Wendell, Zebulon, Holly Springs, Fuquay-Varina, Apex, Cary, Pittsboro, Fearrington, Hillsborough, Mebane). Note, Built Story charges $10 to download/use tours via its app.
