To support increased collaboration and programming among the five Tennessee communities hosting the traveling exhibition, Between Fences, by digitizing the local research and developing a shared online resource for maps and narratives.

Using software, developed by our 2004 We the People project, that enables us to project a narrative layer upon GIS maps, this project will make Internet accessible the results of the history projects that are a part of our tour of the Museum on Main Street exhibit Between Fences. The 5 hosts selected for our 4th exhibit tour will work with scholars and volunteers to explore the exhibit themes locally, digitize the research content, and develop a kiosk for Between Fences enabling audiences to access these maps and digital narratives.
