This past week has brought about a lot of thought and work concerning the Map project. Much of it has already been written on previous blog posts, but this progress report will summarize my work:
I read through the entire Google Doc of transcriptions made for the first library project, looking for all the specific locations in Houston relevant to Dowling’s memory that I could find. The result was this post. Hopefully, we can mark all of these locations on our map, and have a list that links to the relevant documents I have cited for each location when the viewer hovers over, or clicks on, each pinpoint (as well as photos of the area, then and today, if possible).
Ross and I met this morning, and after working for a while, I revised the contract to fit Dr. McDaniel’s requests, as described here.
Next, I will be sorting through the Houston public library archives to see if I can find relevant documents there corresponding to each of our significant locations, as I did with the library project archive.
