MIRCS Institute is a nonprofit devoted to the renewal of civil society. It is currently engaging a number of projects in public history, research, and education. The project is to have a publicly accessible web application - basically “Facebook for dead people”, which would serve as a prototype for future development of a robust, scalable, online platform. The developed project will allow a user to browse through the map, populated with historic data with the ability to click on the historic profiles to view more information as well as log in to add more information to the data.
