Good morning all, This is just an incredibly biased opinion but I love your WWII StoryMap, Heather! It makes me so happy to see our OSS maps being used like this and with a similar MO of having my student assistants work on StoryMaps along with their more boring tasks 🙂, this gives me a great example to show them. Thank you!
