American Panorama is "an historical atlas of the United States for the twenty-first century. It combines cutting-edge research with innovative interactive mapping techniques, designed to appeal to anyone with an interest in American history or a love of maps... American Panorama is an ongoing project. In the coming months we'll be adding maps on urban renewal in postwar America, on presidential voting—with more to come after that."

American Prison Writers Project. This initiative evolved from a book project completed in 2014 with the publication of Fourth City: Essays from the Prison in America, the largest collection to date of non-fiction writing by currently incarcerated Americans writing about their experience inside. The submission deadline for Fourth City passed in August 2012, yet submissions never ceased. The imperative to build the APWA grew from the clear evidence that, once invited, incarcerated people would not give up the chance to tell their stories. The APWA currently hosts over 2,100 essays, enough work to fill over thirty volumes the size of Fourth City (a 338-page, 7”x10” text). [Hamilton College. APWA is in the process of moving to Johns Hopkins University.]
