Map Completed!

I apologize for being on such a long hiatus. I have been pretty busy since the beginning of term. In this post I am going to share the map of all of the Victorian Era monuments at St. Stephen's Anglican Cemetery. I made this map using Google Earth, and each pin includes a photo of each monument and the text of the inscriptions. I hope you find this useful! I have double-checked my entries and have tried to ensure everything is accurate, but mistakes still occur. Please let me know if something (information-wise) does not look right!

After hours and hours of attempting to get this to work (all of last night and this morning), below is a successfully embedded Google Earth gadget that displays my map:



My next project is going to be trying to figure out how to embed my database in here. I feel like this may not be possible so I may just be linking to a Google Drive version on here. Hopefully not though!

Here are some lovely historical photos of St. Stephen's as an apology for being so tardy with my blog posting! I have already received permission from the Royal BC Museum to post them on here.
Hope you enjoy!!
