The GPSA hosted a successful tour of the Albany Rural Cemetery last week. The tour showcased the Albany Rural Cemetery Explorer App (ARCE) which combines history and mapping for self-guided tours and will soon be available for free download. https://www.albany.edu/arce/

UAlbany Students and Faculty were joined by members of the Bender Foundation. They have made generous contributions to support the App which was developed by the Geography & Planning department led by Dr. Rui Li. A special Thanks to Friends of the ARC for their support in our tour.
