A new participatory section on the GeoBook Studio website

GeoBook Studio is currently immersed in the production of the forthcoming book: Big History of Martha's Vineyard. Throughout the development of this work, we have been grateful for contributions, input, and feedback from numerous experts and interested community members.

As our work approaches publication, we have created a new section of our website to facilitate discussion of this book’s topics. Our new Forums section features one forum dedicated to Ice Age topics and another dedicated to more general topics related to Martha’s Vineyard history. Keep an eye out for posts in the coming weeks and months, and we look forward to your participation!
