American Panorama, by the University of Richmond's Digital Scholarship Lab, was released in December 2015 as a collection of four map-based visualizations focusing on slave migration, canal construction, overland trails, and immigration. Each visualization focuses on an interactive map supported by charts, timelines, and primary sources related to each topic. The project emerged from the digital scholarship lab under the guidance of Robert Nelson, Ed Ayers, Scott Nesbit, Justin Madron, and Nathaniel Ayers, along with the San Francisco design firm Stamen Design. The collaboration was a fruitful one, creating a well-designed and intuitive platform for exploring historical information that will serve historians well. American Panorama packs an incredible amount of historical information on the screen at one time. In tracking the movement of enslaved peoples in the South, for example, users are presented not only with a map of in- and out-migration but also with a number of ways to compare migration across space and time through interactive charts and a map. The same could be said of any of the other four maps
