- Description
-
An interactive map of Paris with color-coordinated markers that indicate the locations James Baldwin references. The colors indicate a set of locations referenced in a work by Baldwin. The markers include the title of the location and Baldwin’s description or use of the location.
The map provides viewers with a visual and interactive representation of Baldwin's references to places in Paris from his literary works. - Requirements
- This map is accessible to any internet user through a web browser. The raw data are not available to users.
- Alternatives
- The site uses Google Maps with the addition of specific literary references not available elsewhere.
- Get Started
- Users need little knowledge of Baldwin to find this site informative. A basic understanding of map exploration is helpful for understanding how to navigate the map.
- Accessibility
-
This site does not use a colorblind safe palette. While this is a challenge, it does not make the site completely inaccessible to color-blind users. In general, the colors are difficult to distinguish even as a noncolor blind user.
- Spatial Coverage
- This is an interactive world map but only includes Baldwin data in Paris. An interesting expansion to this project would be to add Baldwin's location references beyond Paris. A similar project could be developed for New York for example.
