Through its interactive maps and data visualizations, the project allows scholars, students, and the general public to explore the complex impacts of urban renewal policies, reinforcing Spiro\u2019s stance on accessibility as both an ethical imperative and a tool for social engagement. This approach not only educates users but also provides a platform for discussions on social justice and historical accountability, core themes that Spiro advocates in her call for open access and engagement in digital humanities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Historical Preservation and Accessibility<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <em><a href=\"https:\/\/dsl.richmond.edu\/panorama\/renewal\/#view=0\/0\/1&amp;viz=cartogram\">Renewing Inequality<\/a><\/em> project embodies the digital humanities value of historical preservation and accessibility, documenting the effects of urban renewal policies on marginalized communities and making this information widely accessible. This approach not only preserves the historical record but also promotes transparency, enabling public reflection and potentially influencing policy change. Lisa Spiro\u2019s essay, \u201cThis Is Why We Fight: Defining the Values of the Digital Humanities,\u201d supports this perspective, highlighting accessibility as a crucial goal in digital humanities projects to cause a transformation in knowledge and promote social justice by shedding light on overlooked histories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.missouristate.edu\/reynolds\/files\/2024\/08\/DigitalBookWithLightBulb-iStock-BlogFeature.jpg\" alt=\"Reynolds College and University Libraries to open Digital Humanities Lab  Fall 2024 - Reynolds College Blog\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">Digital Scholarship Lab, \u201cRenewing Inequality,\u201d\u00a0American Panorama<br>, ed.
