I’ve hosted my project on Observable! Here is the link: https://observablehq.com/@hswezey/reconstructing-history-the-lost-papers-of-the-war-departme I don’t think there should be any problems with the Observable and Tableau embeds, and the largest network is at the bottom, so it shouldn’t pose an issue to the ones above. I hope you enjoy!

Mod 12: Update
Things are going well so far! I’ve been able to integrate the tooltip into my workbooks, but I am going to see if there is a way to enable both the tooltip function and the zoom functions. If I can’t do that, I will most likely drop the tooltip as I think that the zoom […]

Mod 11 Work
The major roadblock- actually visualizing the network in a coherent way- was thankfully solved earlier this week in our meeting! Filtering out the Degree by 8 (doing it by 10 also looks good) as well as making sure the nodes and edges matched correctly created something super nice in Observable! Minor changes to that code […]

Intro: The project will begin with an introduction to the topic- the data project itself and what it hopes to address, basic background on the War Department. Paragraph: Includes the actual images/text from the Congress testimony about […]

Module 9: Project Update
For my final project, I have decided to focus on the New York State executions dataset. The spreadsheet is comprised of 1,130 rows detailing information about each individual that has been executed within the New York State judicial system, beginning in 1646 and ending in 1963. Such details include the name of the individual, their […]
For my final project, I’m considering two different datasets: Tim Renner, “Haunted Places in America.” https://data.world/timothyrenner/haunted-places*Probably restricting it to New York State/Northeast due to the amount of data Executions in New York State, extracted from https://www.icpsr.umich.edu/web/ICPSR/studies/8451/datadocumentation# The hauntings dataset is very fun- everyone loves a good spooky experience. While looking through it, I was struck […]
I chose to do the lessons in Observable, so here is the Tableau workbook from the first lesson: (I made the workbook into a story, but when I went to embed it into this post, it was static rather than interactive. I changed the block to a custom html and I could click through it […]
Coding really is an entirely different language. Generally, what I found to be most difficult in all of these assignments was understanding the vocabulary and the syntax, and how they worked together to issue commands. I’m glad that we could copy and paste from different sections to put it all together because I’m not sure […]
Initially, I was most worried about Python, but I think both assignments turned out okay! I think my biggest difficulty when it comes to programming has always been trying to convince my brain to see and understand how the language itself works. Something about it- maybe because it requires users to be super specific in […]
