Maps

Maps can tell stories in such powerful ways.  Military service stories, immigration stories, career stories, can all be told through maps.  They are made more powerful when combined with photos, snippets of stories, and dates.  

World War II Engineer in the Persian Gulf

This is a snippet of a map showing the assignments of an Army Engineer during World War II, from Tripoli to Delhi to Munich.  When there isn't a voice to go behind the story, or when the story focus isn't verbose, this is a great way to document and celebrate important journeys.
