Next Exit History is a project of the Departments of History and Engineering and Computer Technology at the University of West Florida, WUWF Public Media, and the University of South Florida Libraries’ Florida Studies Center.
The project gathers site-specific, scholarly content on historic communities and reproduces it in engaging electronic media, that incorporates rich metadata, including GPS information for use over a variety of delivery models.
The immediate goal of this project is to promote Florida history by creating audio and audio-visual historical podcasts, of 50 Florida towns. To be eligible for inclusion, a community must have a core of standing structures of historical significance and be easily accessible from one of the state’s four Interstate highways: I-10, I-75, I-95, or I-4. The podcasts that are produced as part of this project constitute an electronic repository of scholar-certified, historical content that is accessible to the general public.
