In the past, alders were used for firewood and to make brooms and lobster pots. Wood cutting places include Simon's Nap, the Knap Where Peter Cut the Wood, and Where Tom Cut Wood for the House.

By trying to assign each piece of information a location which can be referenced by latitude and longitude, we can:

Help tourists locate pieces that have interest to them, as well as other points found nearby
Archive areas that have held cultural significance in the community for future generations
Develop tours with people in the community that link pieces of information that are part of a story

For an example of Google Mapping try the Cultural Heritage page for Branch.

Images can be added for each piece of information to:

Help visitors identify locations or landmarks
Archive areas that have held cultural significance in the community for future generations
If the images carry over an extended time frame, they can help show the changes in the landmark as well as the surrounding community

For an example of an Image Gallery, view the listing for Stiles over fences.

Video and Audio can be added for each piece of information to help fill in the cultural context.

For example, this video is related to the poem/story Branch In a July Sun.

Stories from others can help populate the intangible assets of an area, and provide context to the other pieces of information in the structure.

For an example of a Story, view "A True Branch Man" by Mallary McGrath in the Intangible Assets section.
