Hi all I'll also add https://mapzen.com/ and, in particular, https://mapzen.com/products/tangram/. We're also looking at https://whosonfirst.mapzen.com/ for places, as it's better than GeoNames or Getty's TGN for our needs.

Both have solutions that you can implement for this. In all likelihood you'll also qualify for a free account. They are both quite easy to get started with and you can stylize and design a map to work perfectly with your content. We use both extensively in our work for the National Park Service and their mapping and features are really fun to work with. Feel free to reach out if you have more questions. Good luck!

As long ago as 1913, in the first disruptive feminist act, > three suffragettes attacked a number of pictures in Manchester Art > Gallery as part of the campaign for women?s votes. More recently, > artists such as Judy Chicago have created activist pieces aiming to > redress the absence of women?s creativity and cultural heritage in > museums; while academics such as Linda Nochlin in her seminal essay ?Why Have > There Been No Great Women Artists?? > have analysed the sexual politics underpinning the exclusion of women > from cultural canons. > > Feminism and Museums: Intervention, Disruption and Change will bring > together case studies and analyses of recent feminist actions, > interventions and disruptions which aim to directly impact and > influence collecting, interpretation and engagement activities in > museums, galleries and heritage organisations. > > PURPOSE > The aims of the publication are: > * To encourage and facilitate feminist practice by sharing examples of > success and positive experience in the museum and heritage sector. > * To evaluate the impact and results of feminist practices and actions > in the museum and heritage sector. > > EDITOR > Dr Jenna Ashton is Impact and Engagement Manager at Manchester > Metropolitan University?s Office for Research and Knowledge Exchange, > and Creative Director of the Digital Women?s Archive North [DWAN].
