The process of using ArcGIS was a lot easier than I expected. It can be daunting to use new software and have different types of data represented at once. As a viewer it can be easier to understand, but working backwards to actually create a representation is another challenge. Specifically, for this type of mapping, we only had to upload a csv file and the hard work was taken care of. It seems that with a lot of digital humanities projects the premise isn’t regarding how much effort something takes, but there’s more of an emphasis on using different tools to create something complex in an efficient way. In the future, I’d like to see web mapping being used for comparing climate change records, migration (and populations of different regions), and educative purposes.
