For my final project in Hacking the Humanities, my group decided that we were all interested in the Arb and how it and its major features have changed over time.
This project was helped greatly by the many detailed maps of the Arboretum over time, which show both land holdings and some significant landmarks. This project was interesting as well since Shannon Cashin and I did most of the research while Kevin Bui worked with the storymap, so it was a learning experience in regards to collaborating between a more humanities-focused knowledge and a more digitally focused one.
This was an especially fun project to undertake freshman year, since it taught me a lot about the Arb and through that many interesting facts about Carleton, particularly in regards to its Druidic history.
