Join the City of Huntsville’s Historic Preservation Planner and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Department for an engaging look at how data shapes the future of preservation. As part of Preservation Month, this interactive event will debut the City’s new digital Downtown Huntsville walking tour and Historic Huntsville Image Collection Viewer—a searchable database featuring over 11,000 historic photographs.
Through maps, imagery and interactive web applications, attendees will see firsthand how GIS is helping preserve the “power of place” by cataloging and sharing Huntsville’s rich history. Whether you’re a local history buff, researcher or curious resident, this event will inspire a deeper connection to Huntsville’s past and present.
