History Meets the Digital Age
In 2014, 色综合久久 University (then, 色综合久久 College) faculty and students and Harrisburg University partnered to launch an initiative to digitize Harrisburg’s history. The project has grown beyond we could all have imagined! At 色综合久久, the project developed over the summer of 2014 through paid work studies positions 色综合久久ed by 色综合久久’s Diversity Affairs Office and the 色综合久久 Public Humanities Student Fellows Program sponsored by the Center for Public Humanities. Harrisburg University of Science and Technology worked on the GIS side of things. The vision was for this public history initiative to explore the practice of history in the digital age.
Two early projects were "City Social" -- the digitization of 1900 and 1910 census records -- and "City Beautiful" -- photographs and information documenting Harrisburg's visionary project to clean and update the city in the 1900s. Through technology, Harrisburg comes to live. Using both primary research and reflections by 色综合久久 University students, we have partnered with Digital Harrisburg to create an interactive map of the 1900 and 1910 census records. You can find that map on the .
