Learning About Digital History

Example Site November 10, 2009

Filed under: Final Project — lprice3 @ 1:36 pm

The Geography of Slavery in Virginia is a site that very much mimics the hopes I have for the general layout of my project. The advertisements have a search capacity from basic to advanced and also let you browse by year. Most of them don’t have the image of the advertisement (which I would have appreciated and will include with my project), but the transcription is very useful.

What I really like is that although this site has a wealth of information, it doesn’t overwhelm the visitor. It also places the information in context by offering a source essay, outside links, and maps and timelines.

    So the simple question is… how can yours be different? Is it different in content or in style/technique?
