Collections Project
I’m not entirely sure what my research topic will be for the end of the semester web project. I’m really impressed with the ideas I’ve read about so far (i.e. Linda’s Chinatown project and Sarah’s Vietnam War research). After our discussion last week about collections, I really think it would be amazing to formulate a topic that involves collecting stories and memories, along with searching for other information. Right now, I’m tentatively playing with a few topics. One idea would involve recollections from the Great Depression. Another thought I had would involve rememberances from WWII. There are a few problems with both ideas though. I’m worried they might be overdone. And both involve collecting stories from an older audience who may not use the internet, as Linda also mentioned in her post. Obviously they are both really broad ideas. If you have any suggestions, let me know!

I personally believe that doing a Great Depression memory-collecting website would be phenomenal. The problem, as you pointed out, would be making it easy for those that could remember it to enter the information. I know my grandmother would love to contribute (so if you do design it, I’ll urge her to participate). However, since she is 95 her computer knowledge, while better than most, is not the greatest. She would need very large print and very clear directions. Just two additional points to think about:)
