Well, it’s been awhile since I contributed to my blog. What can I say? It’s been a busy time!
I’m pleased to announce that we have received two important grants that are both related to our collection of World War I trench maps. The first is a grant from the Canadian heritage ministry to acquire an additional 900+ trench maps to add to our collection. See the Hamilton Spectator article for more details on this acquisition.
The second is an award from the Canada Foundation for Innovation to create a facilty to study scaling within the gaming environment. The trench maps will be used to create an three-dimensional environment within a gaming framework for the purpose of studying scale and the user experience.
We’re very excited about both of these initiatives!
