The Green Book was a travel guide published between 1936 and 1966 that listed hotels, restaurants, bars, gas stations, etc., where black travelers would be welcome. Developers at the New York Public Library have extracted data from the 1947 and 1956 editions of the Green Book and developed the Navigating the Green Book interface through which users can explore and visualize the data.

Through the map interface, you can plot a trip and see locations where black travelers would have been welcomed along your route.

“The Lesbian and Gay Liberation in Canada (LGLC) project brings together accounts of over 34,000 events, people, and places that shaped the creation of gay political consciousness in Canada, spanning from the formation of the first homophile group in in 1964 to the start of the AIDS crisis in 1981. The project takes two books, Don McLeod’s chronologies Lesbian and Gay Liberation in Canada Volumes 1 and 2, and has converted them into a database that allows users to explore the people, places, events, and publications that defined Canadian lesbian and gay liberation history.”
