Anyplace: A Platform for Mapping and Sharing Stories
AnyPlace provides a reliable, flexible, and affordable platform for historical and cultural institutions to share place-based interpretive projects online.
The AnyPlace platform allows your organization to establish an interpretive Web site, using your brand and visual aesthetic, and engage visitors in exploration of your places, topics, curation, and media.
Your AnyPlace website provides visitors with a rich online tool for browsing place-based stories, images and videos on a map, by topic, or as collections. Visitors filter content geographically and thematically, take virtual tours, save favorite places, print Google directions and submit their own stories and media for consideration.
AnyPlace is the award-winning platform used for the Historical Society of Pennsylvania’s PhilaPlace project and the Chicago Architecture Foundation’s Open House Chicago.
