Assignment #3

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:

  • The site has a complex structure modeled after an actual library with extensive research files.
  • This topic interests me as I have already done presentations AT Manassas and Gettysburg National Parks.
  • The setup has interactive material, such as maps and newspaper articles.
