The Mapping Prejudice Project was founded in 2016 in the John R. Borchert Map Library at the University of Minnesota Libraries with seed funding from the Center for Urban and Regional Affairs, the University of Metropolitan Consortium, and the Borchert Map Library Endowment. This initial funding allowed the team to use the proof of concept dataset created by Penny Petersen to obtain all of the digitized property records from the Hennepin County Recorder and create the initial Zooniverse and Geographic Information Systems workflows. We have also received ongoing in-kind and administrative support from the University of Minnesota Libraries.
