The Southeast Asia Digital Cultural Atlas, affiliated with the ECAI Southeast Asia team, brings together the efforts of a range of collaborators. Data from various fields-archaeology, economics, history to name a very few-and created for very different purposes by individual scholars or at the direction of major institutions, is recontextualized on the map-based interface. The Atlas is a product, but an ever-changing one not only as users selectively display the datasets they require, but also as new data layers are contributed or as existing ones are updated.

Seeking, uniting, and preparing collaborators is a significant part of Atlas development. One mechanism that serves to further the growth of the Atlas on many levels is offering training workshops in ECAI methodology. This presentation will outline the interplay of process and product in the creation of a digital cultural atlas in the Southeast Asian context.
