Gif game is strong, Derek! I'm also curious about the current PHM's leadership. It'd be interesting to know their history with the organization and professional background. Like we read last week about

I too think the oral history proposal would be a great project. As @hourofhistory stated, the oral histories lead to additional opportunities...perhaps a walking tour? I think we would want to grant the

These are all great proposals that address major needs in Philly's cultural sector! I think the proposal that best reflects the objectives of this course includes training creatives how to leverage blockchain

[The Public History truck] also doesn't include a brick-and-mortar location, which makes it hard for it to build a sense of belonging in the neighborhood and city. Agreed! Similar idea to Andrea Burns'

Time is weird. I remember reading something in undergrad that argued the Clock (i.e., time) was the best representation of the industrial age (not the machine). Workers and management organized their days

Last semester when we were aboard the Olympia, I asked Kevin about this helmet. Apparently, the USMC used these helmets during the late 19th century to show their admiration for Prussian militarism. Obviously,

Thanks Charlie! That was my original goal--gather about 3 or 5 different sources that reflected on the entire year. I also considered using random front cover newspaper articles. Do we discuss the same

That’s a really interesting observation. Although the term “suffrage” remains more popular, you see the phrase “voting rights” gain more traction.

Thanks Joy! Actually, “Influenza” appeared 24 times (located below “years” in the word cloud above). But I know exactly what you mean. You would think that our location in the city most impacted by the

Whoa! Thanks for expanding this Cynthia--super useful additions! I agree, we seem less concerned about gendering our subjects, which exposes a whole lot about us. I’m just surprised by the few (if any)

It's curious to note that despite a united home front and booming war economy, the Republicans won the White House in the 1920 election. Of course other factors came into play (especially Wilson's health),
