2. INTRODUCTION  Nmotion GIS is collaborating with the Texas State University Archives to develop a “unified map collection and a visualization to see how the physical San Marcos campus has developed over time”  This will be accomplished using datasets provided by the Texas State University Archives and the Facilities Office  Historic Aerials, Maps, and Images to tell the story of Texas State University from c. 1900 to 2015 2

3. PURPOSE  To date there has been no attempt to study Texas State University through historic spatial data  Provide an organized resource of historic maps and images that can be easily accessed by researchers and students  Tell the story of Texas State University 3 Image Sources: Texas State University Facilities Office

4. DATA SOURCES  Primary data source  Data provided by Texas State University Facilities Office (20 gbs!)  Additional University Archives Data Available at http://guides.library.txstate.edu/univhistory/GEOG http://guides.library.txstate.edu/univhistory/GEOG  Secondary Data Sources (as needed)  Historic Maps of San Marcos  Texas Department of Transportation Historic Overlay  USGS topoView website 4

5. METHODOLOGY  Compile data and create geodatabases  Create maps for use on ArcGIS Online  Each map will depict the changes to Texas State University Campus by decade  Create video using time slider function in ArcGIS  Add selected photos to web map  Analyze results  Publish maps and historic photos to ArcGIS Online or similar platform  Prepare a report and poster outlining the results 5 Image Source: ESRI https://desktop.arcgis.com/en/desktop/latest/map/time/choosing-a-time-interval-for-displaying- data.htm.
