Brock Library is proud to have contributed to the Lincoln Museum’s newest exhibit, Through the Grapevine: Winemaking in Niagara, which opened on Thursday, October 30th in Jordan, Ontario. The exhibit explores the rich history of winemaking in the Niagara region—from its early roots to the thriving industry it is today—and will be on display through to October, 2026.
As part of this collaboration, Sharon Janzen, Brock’s Maps, GIS & Geospatial Data Specialist, created a detailed map illustrating Niagara’s wine sub-appellations, highlighting the geography that shapes the region’s distinctive wines. Complementing the map, Derek Schneider, Makerspace Manager, developed a 3D model of the mapped area designed as an interactive puzzle, allowing visitors of all ages to assemble the terrain piece by piece.
This project showcases how Brock Library supports and celebrates local heritage through innovative uses of spatial data, design, and technology. It also highlights the creative possibilities that emerge through campus and community collaboration.
