Digital History Independent Study: Prostitution in Policy and Print

For our independent study in digital history, I compared the amount of California state statutes concerning prostitution from 1850-1875 to the amount of articles printed in the Daily Alta California that mentioned the term “prostitute.” I wanted to see if there was any correlation between the amount of laws passed concerning prostitution and the amount […]

Exploring the Effects of Immigration Legislation on Immigration Patterns of the East and West Coasts

The data used behind this project is census data that Dr. Kane provided from IPUMS, the “Integrated Public Use Microdata Series,” for both Albany County, New York and Sacramento County, California from 1850-1900. The visuals I created demonstrate a change in demographics over time in these two capital counties in the United States. Another data […]

Using the Albany census data […]
