In 2021, a team of scholars, researchers, students, and cartographers began constructing a digital map of historical Georgetown by collaborating with local residents who carry its oral histories. This is still a work-in-progress. The final result will recreate a small sense of life in this neighborhood that has long been dismantled.
We hope to release an interactive digital map sometime in 2024. In the meantime, you can browse the following images from our research thus far:
