Digital Projects

In 2019-2020, I worked with the Blume Library’s Special Collections, the Old Spanish Trail (OST) Centennial Organization, and students to digitize the OST Association archival collection. I guided students in scanning the collection with CZUR overhead scanners and generating metadata in an Airtable spreadsheet. I also built a digital repository on DSpace that links to this Omeka-S site.

Dr. Jerry Poyo and I have been supervising students in partnership with  NALCAB (National Association of Latino Community Asset Builders) to produce a project to recover the history and promote historical awareness of the critically important role Latino community development initiatives across the U.S. I built this site to showcase the work of our team.

In this storymap, I contextualize the OST’s travelogs and map out one of the travelogs from 1929.

In this storymap, I briefly examine the way the OST used Spanish Heritage Tourism in its efforts to connect the South with a coast-to-coast highway.

This page details some of my efforts to generate data to produce maps to analyze the impact of El Tecolote, a bilingual newspaper in the Mission District of San Francisco over the past 50 years.
