Welcome to Anima: the Animal Narrative, Identity, and Microhistory Archival Atlas.

This is a beta launch which has been prepared for the American Society for Environmental History (ASEH) 2024 roundtable “Animal Encounters in the Archive,” and for the upcoming collaborative edited essay series with the Network in Canadian History and Environment (NiCHE), “Animal Encounters.” To learn more about this project, review the NiCHE Call for Papers, explore the atlas, or for more about this project’s timelines and motivations, please have a look around. Please note that this beta version will be under development for the next several weeks as we prepare for the future. Thank you for your patience!
