On Tuesday, 21 July, we launched the Mapping Heritage Toolkit with an online workshop that drew interest from 100 participants from more than 10 countries.
The toolkit is for anyone who loves local history, leads a community group, or wants to explore how maps and storytelling come together. It guides users through 12 simple steps to co-creating a story map.
It’s the culmination of 18 months work between Loughborough University researchers based in the School of Design and Creative Arts, and the Loughborough Library Local Studies Volunteer Group.
We were joined by guest contributors Dr Firat Batmaz and Dr Sara Saravi from the Centre for AI in Education, Department of Computer Science at Loughborough University, who added valuable insight to the session about ethics and generative AI.
Sharon Gray and David Kirkby, representing the volunteer group, also contributed with their experience and perspectives on being part of the project.
The toolkit is now live! Click on the image below to download it.

The toolkit and the three supporting leaflets that informed its development (see below) were posted to participants who requested them through our feedback survey.
