Mapping Prejudice is based at the John R. Borchert Map Library of the University of Minnesota Libraries.[3] The project originally searched property records in Hennepin County, identified racial covenants that were made in order to stop non-Whites from purchasing certain properties, and plotted the results of them on digital maps.[2] Their focus began with Minneapolis. The project has grown to include Ramsey County, Minnesota;[4] Milwaukee, Wisconsin; Dakota County, Minnesota;[5] and Anoka County, Minnesota.[5][6] Founded in 2016, Mapping Prejudice was inspired by work at universities[7] in Seattle[8] and Virginia.[9]
The project, along with Hennepin County, received the 2021 Freedom of Information award from the Minnesota Coalition on Government Information (MNCOGI).[10]
