Hello, I am new to this listserv, but after reviewing the past topics of discussion, I thought that it might be helpful and/or interesting to some here for me to share a project to catalog Virginia's historical markers that I have been working on for the past few years. I have traveled much of the state photographing and taking GPS coordinates of the various historical markers in Virginia (and some in other states that I have come across). This data is incorporated into my web site located at http://www.historical-markers.org The project includes an interactive web map which shows the location of each marker along with photographs, text descriptions and location directions for each marker loaded. To date, I have recorded over 1,200+ VA markers (1,600+ total) on the site and I hope to visit and include the approximately 1,000-1,500 remaining Virginia markers in the coming months. To my knowledge, this is the largest collection of such data (with respect to Virginia's markers) available on the Internet. I hope that it can be a useful resource for those on this list, if not then at least an interesting diversion. I welcome any feedback, ideas, or suggestions to help improve the site.
