DIGITAL HERITAGE AT UNL
This project was curated by students in the Fall 2018 Anthropology course: Digital Heritage Tools taught by Dr. Heather Richards-Rissetto at the University of Nebraska Lincoln, with additional work done by UCARE student Emily Vanek.
The aim of this project is to create an Augmented Reality tour to teach people on campus about the histories and namesakes of some of the buildings on campus for UNL's 150th anniversary. The fourteen buildings on the tour are buildings of interest to each student in the Digital Heritage Tools Class with the later addition of a few buildings of interest added by Emily Vanek. The intent of the original tour is that those visiting campus will have a brochure with QR codes linking to each stop on the tour so that individuals can view the tour as they take a tour in real time around campus. The second (more immersive and complete) option for viewing the tour is through the phone app Ride With GPS; the tour is hosted on UNL Outdoor Adventures' tour account giving tour participants free access to the tour. Both tour options are linked below.

About the creator
Emily Vanek is an anthropology major at the University of Nebraska Lincoln. While her undergrad focus was on forensic anthropology, Emily has always had a passion for local history and getting outside. Throughout her undergrad Emily has worked for the Outdoor Adventure Center on campus where she got into trip leading and outdoor education. She also lived in Neihardt for her first two years at the university; when it was announced that Neihardt was to be closed she started diving deep into the history of the building with the help of the Love Library Archives. All of this coincided with a Digital Heritage Tools class in the fall of 2018 taught by Dr. Heather Richards-Rissetto leading to the perfect storm for this project to be born.
