Civil Rights in the National Capital Region: A research-driven exhibition in collaboration with the National Park Service
Principal Investigator(s): Diana E. Marsh
Funder: USDOI National Park Service
Research Areas: Machine Learning, AI, Computational Linguistics, and Information Retrieval > Data Science, Analytics, and Visualization > Library and Information Science > Youth Experience, Learning, and Digital Practices
Students are working with Dr. Marsh and NPS curators throughout the 2020-2021 academic year to research and produce an online exhibit highlighting NPS sites and materials in the National Capital Region related to the history of civil rights. Drawing on the heritage sites and collections holdings of the NPS in the National Capital Region, the interns are assisting curators in all aspects of research and content development, with a broader goal to increase public awareness of the NPS sites and collections in the National Capital Region.
