First, I successfully presented my research last month at the annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology, and again last Friday at The College of Wooster’s Senior Research Symposium. I presented my w […]

For the rest of the week I will be attending the SAA annual conference in Sacramento, CA. I’m presenting a poster session on my website. Here is a copy of the poster for anyone who wants to see it here

Right now I’m in the middle of cutting the videos for half of my website. The Kauke Hall and Frick Hall videos are coming along, albeit slowly. I’m still getting used to imovie, but I am learning more and more […]

Well, its the final week of the fall semester. Let’s recap what has happened. Instead of going the more traditional route for my I.S., I decided I wanted to create a digital public history project. The purpose […]

The College of Wooster recently received a grant from the McGregor Fund to create an undergraduate research center at the college. The two-year $250,000 dollar grant was awarded to the college to build upon one of […]

So I am making a short presentation on my uses of digital Media in research and presentation at the McGregor Project kickoff meeting this afternoon. (for more on the project, check out the news release, here)  […]

So November is here and the semester is coming to a close way to fast. Only five more weeks left. I don’t really have a chapter draft right now, but the good news is the website is up and running – and actually […]

My advisers and I had a very productive meeting with the folks over at Instructional Technology about my project and where it’s headed. We hammered out a lot of details, such as what platform I was going to use to […]

Going along with my prospectus that was due last week, I am still in the planning stages for most of my project. While I am reading, researching the several tours stops that I am going to create, I am also […]

Although historic preservation is still largely defining itself as a field of study and as a profession, the debate that has ranged over several key issues has defined what historic preservation is today. All […]

Check out Loyd Wollstadt’s photo set of Old Wooster on Flickr – there are some great photos of the campus, circa 1959-63, as well as homecoming traditions. I would love to get permission to use some of these for my project.
