After several attemps to get the Atlantic Slave Trade Site connected and could not, I became a little afraid that I may not be able to complete my analysis. So, I chose to analyze Virtual Jamestown.
For my analysis, I plan on using the Hurricane Katrina/Wilma Digital Archive site (the one that is off of the September 11th Digital Archive site). I have decided to choose this site because it is one of the more recent digital archives that have probably been posted. I have also chosen this site because this is fairly recent material it will be interesting to see what types of formats have been used for this archive.
For my third media analysis, I plan on analyzing the Sept. 11th Digital Archive. I think that there is a ton of valuable information on that site, from pictures to stories. It should be an interesting project, exploring the site and analyzing it.
For the final media analysis project, I choose to work with the digital archive Valley in the Shadow of Death which pertains to the role two seperate towns played during the Civil War. I choose this site for the following reasons:
For this assignment i will be focusing on the archive about the 1930’s. There will be plenty of information to be analyze and the archive seems to be very extensive.
Ok, I am not quite sure if this site works because many of the archive links are linked to other archives and universities. However, I enjoyed the site, the "lost museum" and it’s 3-D digital reconstruction of P.T. Barnum’s American Museum. The museum was lost in a fire and there are images and background information on the exhibits and historical context of the museum’s existance. I simply enjoy it’s design and interactivity, I should have asked in class but I didn’t think of it until later. -Jen-
