When using the current campus map, there is a small description and maybe when the building was built and a fairly updated photo. I would like to provide a similar, but much more in depth description of some of the more relevant buildings and in a visual, easy to understand way. I think this could add a lot to the knowledge on campus about where our campus has come from, and where it is headed. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Historical sources:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I will use a variety of sources to do the research needed for this project. Google searches, public records and resources that I can get from Special Collections like historical photographs, videos and documents that the school has saved from the time. Photos of the buildings during construction would be ideal, as well as photos from over time to see how they have or haven\u2019t changed visually. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Technical requirements:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">All I will need help with is getting a website. Once I have a place that I can put all of the information I plan to collect on, I can get started with the design and getting going. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Achievements:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I have been experimenting with different forms of presentation<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Read parts of Mayflower Hill: A History of Colby College by Earl Smith <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I have setup a time this week to speak with Erin Rhodes from Special Collections who has offered to show me the variety of collections that have been kept over the years.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><a href=\"https:\/\/juxtapose.knightlab.com\/#examples\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">https:\/\/juxtapose.knightlab.com\/#examples<\/span><\/a>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Now and then<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Juxtapose<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Challenges:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The challenge for my project will be displaying the information and resources I collect in an intuitive, user friendly way that will allow it to be seen by many people.
