This research project is intended to explore commercial models for offering Memory Mapper, an open-source web-based mapping tool for documenting places and their histories created by researchers at the Bartlett Faculty for the Built Environment, University College London, as a service to researchers and teachers in the universities sector and professionals in the Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums (GLAM) sector. Memory Mapper was developed on the basis of work conducted as part of the Survey of London Whitechapel Initiative (https://surveyoflondon.org/), an innovative web-based public history project which used interactive mapping and crowdsourcing techniques to engage members of the public in the creation of collectively-produced historical accounts of the history of the built environment inWhitechapel. Subsequent funding from UCL and from the EPSRC has resulted in a number of follow-on maps using the software, most prominently the Memory Map of the Jewish East End (https://jewisheastendmemorymap.org) and City of Women London (https://cityofwomenlondon.org/).Through these projects and through the fostering of a community of independent Memory Mapper projects in the Higher Education, GLAM and Community sectors, we have evidence that there is a market appetite for the tool. Through a combination of in-depth market research, user testing with current Memory Map users, participatory action research workshops and semi-structured interviews, this project will provide the specification for a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) for the next iteration of Memory Mapper, and will establish the empirical basis on which further funding can be sought.

该研究项目旨在探索提供 Memory Mapper 的商业模式，Memory Mapper 是一种基于网络的开源地图工具，用于记录地点及其历史，由伦敦大学学院巴特利特建筑环境学院的研究人员创建，为研究人员提供服务大学部门的教师以及画廊、图书馆、档案馆和博物馆 (GLAM) 部门的专业人士。 Memory Mapper 是在伦敦白教堂调查倡议 (Survey of London Whitechapel Initiative) (https://surveyoflondon.org/) 的一部分工作的基础上开发的，这是一个基于网络的创新公共历史项目，它使用交互式地图和众包技术来吸引公众共同创作有关白教堂建筑环境历史的集体历史记录。来自伦敦大学学院和 EPSRC 的后续资助导致使用该软件制作了许多后续地图，其中最著名的是犹太东区记忆地图 (https://jewisheastendmemorymap.org) 和伦敦妇女之城 (https://jewisheastendmemorymap.org) /cityofwomenlondon.org/)。通过这些项目以及在高等教育、GLAM 和社区领域培育独立内存映射器项目社区，我们有证据表明市场对该工具有需求。通过深入的市场研究、当前内存映射用户的用户测试、参与式行动研究研讨会和半结构化访谈的结合，该项目将为内存映射器的下一次迭代提供最小可行产品（MVP）的规范，并将建立寻求进一步资金的经验基础。
