It's finished!
My project is finally completed and ready to launch! It's certainly a learning process, but it does highlight areas of my research that I wanted to focus on. It also allowed me the opportunity to play with digital tools, with some successes and some failures. This allowed me to analyze data a bit differently than I would have if I had just written a traditional paper.
So here it is! I'm more relieved than anything to have something that I knew nothing about completed in only a semester. Here's to more digital humanities and the continuation of collaboration in digital history!

Damage Control Night and an Update
Alrighty, so this week has been a bit crazy.
Right now, I am in the process of simplifying my content essays (the ones written for my 650 about marriage in the North and the South), troubleshooting my code and fixing the errors within it and getting my mapping data finalized. I just got all 28,221 entered in on Massachusetts marriages on excel with their corresponding towns. I am still looking to get all the Virginia marriage data entered and then forward then to Angie who can help me map these layers.
I have selected my sources for the etiquette examples of literature and then I just need to pull out excerpts. I will also be doing a word cloud of these books to show the commonality of words and this section will also show the nGram for booking written in the period around 1850 (+/- 5 years).
Right now my maps are almost done, my nGram is completed, my images need to be narrowed down (census records and images of married couples), and my newspaper excerpts need to be narrowed down and presented in a more readable fashion (potentially OCR them and add Voyant). I would also like to complete a timeline of popular U.S. history events and the publication of major books/articles on marriage.
I'm not super stressed about getting all this done, once I troubleshoot a few errors on my website, I will be able to just plug in my content that has all been gathered and then upload it.
