This project was created by using several different tools. The four primary tools that she utilized were Neatline, TimelineJS, Omeka, and SoundCloud. This project is divided into three primary categories, each utilizing one of these primary tools. The interactive map which outlines the most important locations of the Whiskey Rebellion, utilizes Neatline which in turn utilizes Omeka. The timeline, which highlights the important dates pertaining to the Whiskey Rebellion, utilizes TimelineJS. The final part of the project, the audio tour, utilizes SoundCloud.
The interactive map, was created by using Neatline. Neatline, according to their website,
is a geotemporal exhibit-builder that allows you to create beautiful, complex maps, image annotations, and narrative sequences from Omeka collections of archives and artifacts, and to connect your maps and narratives with timelines that are more-than-usually sensitive to ambiguity and nuance.
It allows historians and other researchers to create their own interactive maps, and even their own timelines. Below is the Interactive Map. Http iframes are not shown in https pages in many major browsers. Please read this post for details.
The second software tool that this project utilizes is Omeka. Omeka, “is a web publishing platform for sharing digital collections and creating media-rich online exhibits.” Omeka is an indispensable tool that digi
tal historians use. According to their Wikipedia page Omeka, ” is a free, open source content management system for online digital collections. As a web application, it allows users to publish and 
exhibit cultural heritage objects, and extend its functionality with themes and plugins.” This project utilized Omeka for two different things. Within the interactive map, there are pictures and descriptions of the places that were significant for the Whiskey Rebellion, and all items found on the items page were created by using Omeka.
The third tool this project uses is TimelineJS. This tool was utilized to help create the timeline of the Whiskey Rebellion. According to their website, “TimelineJS is an open-source tool that enables anyone to build visually rich, interactive timelines.” Both expert historians and amateur historians can use this website to create timelines of their own. An easy to use website, beneficial to both the student and the historian. Below is the Interactive Timeline. Http iframes are not shown in https pages in many major browsers.

The final tool this project used was SoundCloud. Out of all the tools this project utilized, SoundCloud is by far the most well-known among the populace and it is also the least important tool. SoundCloud is, “the world’s largest music and audio platform. SoundCloud lets people discover and enjoy the greatest selection of music from the most diverse creator community on earth.” By using SounCloud, Ms. Townrow was able to upload her audio files to her project. Since SoundCloud uses widgets and apps, people can place their own widget on their own website. Below is where the Audio Tour can be found.
