After creating a rough schedule to keep the project on track, Savannah and I have been working with the different digital tools we want to use on the project site. She’s been working with Juxtapose JS, and I’ve been tackling Timeline JS. Over the past week, I’ve been attempting to figure exactly what information I want to put in the timeline. I also spent more time than I thought I would getting images from the yearbooks to use both on the project site and in the timeline, although that could just be because I kept getting distracted by the content of the books and forgetting that I was on a mission. Basically, the timeline will place The Cohongoroota in a larger historical context, but this is also where we’ll explain the gaps in publication and set the stage to look at the yearbooks in more detail.

I also spent some time messing around with our project site in what was probably a futile attempt to avoid problems later on, but I wanted to make sure that I wasn’t spending all of my time looking at the information we have and forgetting about the project site.

Both Savannah and I graduate this semester, so life is a little stressful at the moment, but we’re moving forward and I’m looking forward to when we can share the more visually interesting parts of our project. We have a plan. We can do this.
