title: 'Launch of the Atlascine Website'
The new website dedicated to the Atlascine project has been officially launched! This website's goal is to provide a dedicated space for sharing information, news, content, ideas, and tips related to the Atlascine platform. Over the past few years, our main objective has been to collaborate with our partners from the Geomatics and Cartographic Research Center (GCRC) at Carleton University to completely redesign the previous version of the platform (which you can learn more on in the About page) and to support researchers interested in developing their own atlases using Atlascine (visit the Atlas page for examples). With this website, we are now ready to make this platform more accessible to anyone interested in visualizing stories, showcasing fascinating interviews, or creating their own maps and atlases. Much appreciation and thanks to Emory Shaw for building this website!
Atlas of Rwandan Exiles

La Ville Extraordinaire
Working with oral history and place-based research-creation methods, La Ville Extraordinaire foregrounds the urban knowledge of four diverse groups of older Montrealers. The project will culminate in an exhibition at the Centre des mémoires montréalaises, a new museum dedicated to living memory in a multicultural city.
