CarlClubs Final Project Update

Progress

• Created a spreadsheet with information on all the clubs, including descriptions, location, the approximate number of members, and photos
• In the process of emailing club leaders to gather further necessary information(founding date, for example)
• Gathered info from archive source “Carleton remembered, 1906-1986.” Should be done today or tomorrow.
• Contacted the head of clubs and have a meeting scheduled for Monday morning to get access to all the old club data, hopefully in an easy process the form.

Problems (and proposed solutions)

Not all information about a club can be found easily or at all. We’ve been forced to be more creative with our methods of gathering information, and we’ve also begun contacting the leaders of the clubs to see if they have more information.

Tools and techniques

• After consulting with Austin, we decided to create an Omeka site using the Curatescape plugin for the interactive map portion of our project. 
• We plan to use the Story making aspect in order to describe the current clubs at Carleton, with Curatescape, we can implement a .csv file that lists all of the details of the clubs and generates this for us
• Link to documentation:
