TraceBack

TraceBack is a guide that enables the user to receive information on nearby sites and ancient ruins in Jerusalem. Using navigation technology the app can locate where you are and offer a variety of sites to visit and learn about. The information takes in both ancient history and the contemporary social, political and architectural setting and can transform an ordinary walk into a unique experience which breaks through barriers of culture and identity. Users are welcome to create new entries or enrich existing ones with additional information.

"TraceBack" is intended for anyone who wants to discover stories from the past and the present of Jerusalem's ancient sites. If you like to explore the daily lives and beliefs of those who lived here before us, or if you are knowledgeable about the diverse histories of sites in Jerusalem and are interested in sharing these with other users, TraceBack is for you.

TraceBack was developed by “Emek Shaveh”, an organization which works for the advancement of cultural heritage rights and the safeguarding of antiquities as public assets belonging to all communities and peoples. We view heritage as a means of building bridges between peoples and cultures. We hope that this app can become a dynamic place where hidden stories and new narratives come to light and enrich the significance of our common cultural heritage.
