Mapping Our Heritage Project is a pioneering three-dimensional, interactive map of New York’s “Old Chinatown” district that will serve as a national model for how technology can be applied to a neighborhood’s cultural and historical preservation. A collaborative effort between MoCA, New York University Asian/Pacific/American Studies Program & Institute, Environmental Simulation Center, and Resolution Seven, Mapping is a fully interactive kiosk that can potentially provide people with access to a range of information on Chinatown – such as statistical and biographical data, historical photos, documents, individual oral histories, and artifacts. Visitors engage with an 8-block area of New York known as historic “Old Chinatown” by clicking on or “visiting” an address to not only see artifacts, photos, documents, and oral histories connected to that place, but also to submit their own personal accounts and memories of Chinatown. This new format provides a new way of exploring and writing the history of Chinese Americans in New York and expands the public’s participation in the ongoing process of reclaiming and interpreting the community’s diverse cultures and histories. Mapping Our Heritage is made possible with the generous support of the National Endowment for the Arts, Resources for Change Technology Grant; the Chevron Texaco Foundation; and Verizon.
