I'm running really short on time today, but here's the primary sources we've gathered. I'll get on and add commentary and extra info tomorrow when everything isn't quite so hectic..
Wow, you guys have such a cool project so far! I loved looking at all of your different documents. With the pictures of the plaques in the first photos, I'm wondering how you see the way that they are presented as affecting our interpretation of the information? It seems as they all use the same big title followed by average typed font, black and white pictures, the same beige plaque, and the same tone when telling the stories of the individuals. For me, it felt very sterile, very textbook-y, but still accessible to a wide audience. I'm not sure if that plays a role in what you will be talking about in your project, but I thought I'd give you my feedback on it!
