Courtney constructed a very useful Google Spreadsheet that sums up the information that we have and the information we still need to collect for our project. I have been spent some time trying to collect missing data, specifically the sponsors of several monuments and the dates of the dedications and relocations. I looked through the digital archive our class compiled earlier in the semester and even spent a few hours going through microfilm at Fondren to try and pin down some of this information. Unfortunately, I only found a few pieces of information that we did not already have.
The other thing I have started working on is consolidating the data we do have into descriptions for each of our pinpoints. This is a fairly daunting and time-consuming task. Hopefully once classes end this week, our group can meet again and make a plan for accomplishing everything we want to. I also like the idea that we should try to get our own pictures of the Houston pinpoint locations. I have a car and could definitely do this if the rest of the group agrees.
Oh yeah, once classes end I’ll be able to meet pretty much anytime. Maybe we can go around to all the points together; that’ll make it more fun.
