Popis: In this paper, we briefly describe the design and implementation of the GeoStoryteller project, with particular emphasis on the resources used to create the digital narratives that are the core of the application. GeoStoryteller is a project where learners engage with archival photos and multimedia narratives in historically relevant places using a combination of augmented reality technology and web-based delivery via mobile devices. The initial application of GeoStoryteller is in partnership with the Goethe-Institut New York, the worldwide cultural organization of Germany. In this partnership, learners - particularly German language students in the United States - engage with content that details the historical events and makes use of real places related to German immigration to New York City (1840-1945). Second, based on the design and implementation of this project, we offer a framework for creating location-based mobile learning projects that could be used by others interested in implementing similar projects. Lastly, we profile the sources used to create the digital narratives, the majority of which (76 percent) were grey literature materials.
