This seminar explores the complexities behind a deceptively simple directive: just put it on a map. Drawing on recent web-based mapping projects, I will unpack the messy realities of transforming research data, often buried in Word documents or scattered across unstructured formats, into meaningful digital interfaces. From wrestling with datasets to navigating design dilemmas, I will examine both practical and theoretical considerations of mapping digital cultural heritage. Along the way, I'll share how experimenting with code and genAI has opened new possibilities while revealing unexpected limitations in creating these rich, exploratory interfaces.
