Editors’ Choice: Advancing Américo Paredes with Twenty-First Century DH Tools: Mapping George Washington Gómez with ArcGIS StoryMaps

In the summer of 2023, I was fortunate to participate in a double dose of Digital Humanities learning. I signed up for a three-day workshop Manos a la obra organized by the US Latino Digital Humanities Center, and I was the recipient of a Digital Ethnic Futures Consortium Mellon grant/fellowship. A result of this rewarding DH summer is my ArcGIS StoryMap that centralizes renowned author, folklorist, and scholar, Américo Paredes (1915-1999).  My interests in cartography, spatial concepts, and mapping literary texts, like Paredes’s, to better evaluate their meaning found new expression with ArcGIS StoryMaps, a web-based platform allowing authors to create maps and narrate data with prose and geographic visuals optimized for viewing on desktops and mobile devices (ArcGIS StoryMaps).
