[Campus Notice] Important Notice: Esri Story Maps Will Be Retired in February 2026

[UCR Information Technology Solutions]

Dear ArcGIS Member,

This is your final reminder that the classic Esri Story Maps will be retired
<https://www.esri.com/en-us/arcgis/products/arcgis-storymaps/classic> on
February 25, 2026. To ensure that the Esri Story Maps content you are
maintaining or relying on continues to be accessible to you, it is
important that you save and migrate all information and data to ArcGIS
StoryMaps or another web app before the service is permanently discontinued.

For more information, please read the Classic StoryMaps Retirement
<https://docs.zoom.us/doc/Tv1fejsPRqK9eWb_rypK-w> article from Esri or
watch the recorded ArcGIS StoryMaps webinar
<https://mediaspace.esri.com/playlist/dedicated/238781783/1_kp2j1l60/1_2bwyg1l3>
hosted by Esri in December 2025.

If you have never used the classic Esri Story Maps, kindly disregard this
notice. Content in ArcGIS StoryMaps (the current version of Esri Story
Maps) is not affected by this change.


Sincerely,

Lily Barger

Director, Computing Support Services
