Mapping Exclusionary Urban Spaces: building the archives of historical redlining and racial discrimination
|
Abstract
This presentation unveils the results of a 2-year IMLS grant entitled T-RACES (Testbed for the Redlining Archives of California's Exclusionary Spaces), in partnership with David Theo Goldberg at the University of California Humanities Research Institute, a HASTAC partner with Duke University. This project documents the New Deal Home Owners' Loan Corporation confidential security maps and surveys of the 1930s that form the genesis of neighborhood discrimination and restricted mortgage lending, known as redlining. A digitial library interface based on interactive databases and Google Map and Google Earth interfaces is demonstrated for cities such as Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Oakland.

The Visualization seminar series is a forum for faculty, staff and students from across the university to share their research involving the development and/or application of visualization methodologies. Our goal is to build an interdisciplinary community of visualization experts whose combined knowledge can facilitate research and promote innovation.
