Maps are more than coordinates on a sheet of paper — they tell stories of where people gather, what they do, and how they live. In the University Libraries, the Architecture Archives collects, conserves and promotes the use of architectural records that document the architects and architecture of Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, and the region. These records help shape our understanding of our surroundings and their connection to the past, present, and future of the institution.

Join the Libraries Student Advisory Council as they showcase their work with the Architecture Archives during this drop-in event. Through a combination of GIS, storymapping, and other resources and tools, LSAC members constructed their own personal representations of key areas on campus. Trace your path from your dorm to class, see how your peers use spaces in different ways, and see how time of day and changing seasons affect familiar views.

Food will be provided, and attendees will have a chance to map their own memories at CMU.
