On the map, single pins represent Records. Each Record relates to a location and period within a refugee's journey. It can include documents, photographs, audio, videos and other archival material.
Explore Records through Collections
Records are grouped together in Collections. Each Collection relates to a single refugee family or family member. You can view all the Records associated with a single Collection to see a refugee’s journey.
An Overlay is a historic map or journey route that can be superimposed on the Refugee Map. Overlays add context to Records and Collections. Routes show the approximate journey across the map for a refugee family or family member.
