Lab 6

 

I’ve been very interested in the age of local churches in Tuscaloosa. So I went about looking into the age of churches in town. I originally thought that the information would be readily accessible. This was not the case. I actually ran into an Omeka project that was trying/ had tried to do what I am doing! Their information seems to be coming out of old Tuscaloosa newspapers. My information was being pulled out of their stuff and a database of historical markers, which had the inscription on them. I think this communicates the oldest churches in town, and in my very cursory research i discovered some interesting threads that could lend themselves to more data, perhaps an affiliation chart. I used an assignment that displayed time because I thought that most relevant to what I was looking at.
