The first Library of Congress Story Map publications debuted in 2018 and they continue to expand through today. Staff of the Geography & Map Division use the Story Maps platform to create curated entry points into our digital collections. We invite you to explore the collection material of the Geography & Map Division through narrative, multimedia, and interactive maps using the Story Maps below. The Geography & Map Division actively supports the creation of Story Maps across the Library and encourages you to explore all Library of Congress Story Maps.
