Posted 5 pictures to the
site, what a cool idea. I know Northern VA
has changed a lot over time.
One digital project that
I came across is Harvard-Yenching Library: The Hedda Morrison
Photographs of China. The project is really amazing and has thousands of
photos on it. It also offers a really
nice chronology section and looks nice and is easy to navigate. The one that I came across that was not
good for me was http://www.csusm.edu/history/masters/projects.html. This project had a lot of links that did not
work or where no longer active. If you
are going to have with past projects I think it needs to be closely maintained
and up to date.
Project up Date- Right
now I am working through the years of my life I have started with the 70s and
have gotten through some of the 80s. I
am finding it difficult to pick out what I feel is most important for each
year, but better to have too many options then not enough right?
The China photographs are nicely done.
ReplyDeleteOn your project, you don't have to cover anything, and you can skip over things. For example, 1980s, some might write a lot about Iran-Contra; others might not even mention.
