Story Maps
Story Maps at the Library of Congress are immersive web applications that tell the incredible stories of the Library’s collections through narrative, multimedia, and interactive maps.
The presentations here provide a guided exploration of some of the diverse collection materials available online from the Veterans History Project. These story maps tell the many stories found in our collections through narrative text, multimedia, and interactive maps.
