ATLANTA (AP) - Emory University is launching a self-guided tour of sites related to the Battle of Atlanta.
The Emory Center for Digital Scholarship plans to launch the mobile tour of locations throughout the city as the 150th anniversary of the battle approaches. The smartphone-friendly tour will include maps, historical information, photos and videos, as well as parking suggestions.
A launch celebration and demonstration is set for June 18 at the Atlanta Cyclorama and Civil War Museum. Another event on July 17 at Emory’s Robert W. Woodruff Library will include a small exhibit of historical photos and materials.
The Civil War Battle of Atlanta took place on July 22, 1864.
The tour will be accessible via a web link that is to go live before the June 18 launch.
