Travels with Outerbridge: A Fellow in the Great War


2017 Outerbridge Map Segment 2

Travels with Outerbridge is a digital exhibition launched in the summer of 2017 to coincide with the one-hundredth anniversary of the US entry into World War One (WWI). Included are mapped letters and photographs of George Outerbridge, a Fellow of the College of Physicians of Philadelphia and a physician who served in WWI. 

This exhibit was originally launched as an interactive map using the Neatline framework. In 2025, the original digital exhibition was migrated to Omeka's Exhibit Builder framework as Neatline support and operability lagged. The 2025 version of the digital exhibition uses the same OpenStreetMap labeled graphics as the original, presented along each alphabetically labeled step of Outerbridge's journey.
