Teatime Talk - Layers of London

Layers of London (layersoflondon.org) is a participatory mapping project which aims to bring together the overlapping layers of experience and community heritage within the city through the paradigm of web mapping. The project was funded by the UK Lottery Heritage Fund from 2017 to 2020. It enabled partnerships with key national heritage organisations, the majority of London’s local borough councils, and many independent community groups and schools. There are now more than 400 georeferenced historic map ‘overlays’ to explore, and more than 14,000 user-contributed mainly photographic ‘record’ pins. The project also catalysed the development of the HUMAP mapping platform, which now supports numerous other projects and digital library resources. Layers of London was a major departure from traditional research project approaches for the Institute of Historical Research, and fostered new approaches to community collaboration and partnership. Naturally, this involved both successes and challenges, and prompts reflection on how map-based visualisation can connect academics and communities. Participation worked at many levels and attracted different communities, from crowdsourcing georeferencing of aerial photographs, which attracted a dedicated enthusiasts; to community archiving workshops; and perhaps actually most powerfully community mapping days with chalk and blackboard! Layers of London now continues to grow during its maintenance phase, as we reflect on how best to target our limited continuity resources, and consider future developments in digital infrastructure for community-led place-based histories.
