Good morning Julie and the list, This imagineRio searchable digital atlas came to my attention recently https://imaginerio.org/#en "Developed by professors Farès el-Dahdah and Alida Metcalf in collaboration with Axis Maps<https://www.axismaps.com/>, imagineRio is currently being supported by a Digital Art History grant from the Getty Foundation<http://www.getty.edu/foundation/>, thanks to which it will be possible to seamlessly integrate temporally accurate geographic data with visual data from the photography collections of the Instituto Moreira Salles<https://ims.com.br/> in Rio de Janeiro. The project would also not have been possible without the financial and technical support of Rice University's office for Global and Digital Strategy<https://president.rice.edu/caroline-levander>, Ken Kennedy Institute for Information Technology<https://k2i.rice.edu/>, Fondren Library<https://library.rice.edu/> nor without content from the Prefeitura do Rio de Janeiro<http://www.rio.rj.gov.br/>, and Arquivo Nacional<http://www.arquivonacional.gov.br/br/>, among many other sources." Not really digital but definitely transformative and interactive in different ways. The gymnasium sized indigenous map created for the Indigenous Peoples Atlas of Canada has been a highlight for me http://www.canadiangeographic.com/educational_products/ipac_floor_map.asp (includes educational approaches like activities and lesson plans). This webpage was timing out for me earlier so I've attached a pdf with the contents and links from a cached version. This map is part of a series of Giant Floor Maps. It was created digitally. It's an exceptional example of a truly interactive printed map.
