About

As part of West Chester University‘s Intro to Digital Humanities ( DHM280) course, one of the requirements was to review two different projects in the aforementioned field of the digital humanities.  This particular assignment was to review a digital humanities project under the specific conditions that it disseminates information with a focus on place, space, and location.

In order to achieve the most accurate and cohesive understanding of this project, we separated it into five distinct categories: Overview & Significance, Methodology, Peers & Context, Audiences & Disciplines, and Evaluation.   Each of the categories all had a specific, unique approach to disseminating the data within the project.  Each team member had a specific duty in getting a page completed, but we were all responsible for the completion of the project as a whole.

The Project itself can be found here.

This review finds its home on the website building application WordPress. WordPress is an open source and free to the general public to help those begin on creating their own website. It is largely used for the creation of blogs, but its uses expand way beyond that.  This platform allowed our team to work both independently and together in order to most efficiently create this project.
