The data set that I am looking into is the data hosted by the National Register of Historic Places and Historic Albany Foundation. I am currently taking a course that focuses on the preservation of historical sites. I find the work that goes behind registering, rebuilding, and preserving historical buildings very compelling, and I feel […]
For my final project, I was thinking of using the dataset Dickinson College Archives, Carlisle Indian School Digital Resource Center. With this dataset I was thinking of arguing, or exploring, if children with both parents still living were more likely to run away from the school or get expelled than children with only one, or […]
For the final project I’d really like to continue working with the Albany Census Data from 1850-1940. I’m used to working with U.S. census data for California during the nineteenth century, but have never looked at it as a digitized data set that I could manipulate into graphs and visualizations. Using the Albany census data […]
For the final project, I would like to use the “Union Army Recruits in Black Regiments in the United States, 1862-1865” dataset by Jacob Metzer and Robert A. Margo (available here). Given my interest in American military history, I think this dataset will provide a great opportunity to do a bit of analysis on force […]
For my final project, I am debating between two datasets. The first one that sparked my interest was “Her Hat Was In the Ring: US Women Who Ran For Office Before 1920”. I’m interested in this mostly because of my interest in gender history. Usually, I study European gender history, but I’d be interested in […]
I am going to use Her Hat Was In the Ring: US Women Who Ran For Office Before 1920, http://www.herhatwasinthering.org/index.php. I thought this would provide a number of options to explore the data- locations where there may be clusters of activity, certain years, political parties, movements, etc. After discussing with Prof. Kane, I am also looking […]
I am currently deciding between three datasets for the final project. Two of these are from amongst the selection provided to us already. These are the “Haunted Places in America” dataset and the “Account of Losses Sustained by the Oneidas & Tuscaroras…” dataset. I am interested in exploring the Haunted Places in America data because […]
For the final project, I am deciding between two datasets. First, there is “Her Hat Was In the Ring: US Women Who Ran For Office Before 1920.” In undergrad, I took a class on Gender and the Presidency so I think it would be interesting to dive back into that research through data. The questions […]
Here is my data set: https://github.com/elisabethmtatum/1770sample My data is drawn from my transcriptions of Dutchess County, NY Ancient Documents from 1770-1775. The records I transcribed were from the filings of imprisoned insolvent debtors who sought relief under various NY colonial acts relating to insolvency passed between 1770 to 1775.When an insolvent debtor filed for relief, […]
At the beginning of the semester, I had planned to use a dataset I work with at my day job at the New York State AIDS Institute. My work focuses on analyses, visualization, and presentation of HIV/AIDS surveillance data — my unit produces all of the annual surveillance reports and any numbers, statistics, and graphs […]
