This project was created and completed by a group of students during a semester-long collaboration in the Adventures of Digital History class during the spring of 2022. The purpose of this project was to restore, refresh, and rescue past projects of the class while making them more accessible.
We would like to thank the Digital Knowledge Center (DKC) staff for their wealth of knowledge, Dr. McClurken’s passion for digital history and support, and previous Adventures of Digital History students who created and researched for past projects. We hope this space holds a wealth of knowledge that can be preserved for future years!
