Combines svg, map-tiles, and db/redux-store filtering methods for:

advanced image filters,
custom clipping masks/area highlights,
and react driven data handling, to move beyond simple point-based site mapping, for non-projected maps.

(Will include) Administrator-based point editing and addition (CMS) for:

scholarly updates/build-out of resource narratives
on-going use and/or adaptation for other projects with minimal maintenance time
streamlined contributions from the research, curatorial, and development team in the lead-up to fall 2017 exhibitions.
