Expansion of the existing Discover Indiana website and mobile application highlighting local history tours and stories across seventeen counties in a statewide initiative.

Discover Indiana II seeks support from the National Endowment for the Humanities to launch a state-wide content development drive in partnership with public libraries, museums, and/or county historians in eighteen counties in the state. We seek $396,661 to augment our 23 existing public tours, as well as develop 36 new tours by the close of the project period. Funding secured with this grant will support county-based training workshops led by the project team, subsidization of each county developing at least 2 of their own digital tours highlighting humanities topics, sites, and objects from their county or collections, as well as adding two additional functionalities to the existing Omeka+Curatescape platform which will allow us to fine-tune the geo-location schema to produce independent county landing pages and to add bibliographic entries to tours in an easy-to-use way.
