Just finished work on the latest offering from RochesterLabor.org: the Labor History eMAP, a web-based tour connecting the history of workers and their unions to locations in Rochester New York.

Map text — authored by local historians and educators Linda H. Donahue and Jonathan Garlock — links labor struggles to the Rochester landscape. Contemporary and historic images are served up by the Monroe County Library Rochester Images database and the Rochester Labor History Flickr site — with special thanks to RochesterPublicArt.com. The map is made with  CommunityWalk, and can also be viewed on Google Maps at Rochester Labor History.

RochesterLabor.org is the website for the labor education programs of the Rochester Labor Council, AFL-CIO. Online since 2003, the site provides information on events such as the the Rochester Labor Film Series, Labor Lyceum and the annual Labor Day Parade. See links to other projects at RochesterLabor.org, Educational Materials.
