My primary research concerns the expansion of urban campuses in the postwar period in Philadelphia. I have taught art hisotry courses in Early American Art, 20th Century Architecture, Renaissance Architecture, and the two halves of the art history survey. I have also developed two First Year Seminars titled "Why do we build, why should we care?" and "Postwar Campus."
For the last several years I've been working with the Richmond Cemetery Collaboratory - a group of institutional, community, and interested like-minded individuals who foster care, documentation, and research on African American cemeteries in and around the city of Richmond, Virginia. Together with Collaboratory members, I built the archive (https://search.cemeterycollaboratory.org) and support members of the collaboratory in their class and research work. We are drafting a document focused on principles of good practice for documenting and caring for these fragile sites and have expanded our work to Barton Heights Cemeteries in Richmond, Woodland Cemetery in Henrico County, and other sites in the Richmond area. You can see more Collaboratory projects at: https://cemeterycollaboratory.org.
I have also collaborated with Greta Bahnemann, Minnesota Digital Library, on a chapter in <i>The Handbook of Art and Design Librarianship</i> (2nd edition edited by Paul Glassman and Judy Dyki, Fact Publishing, 2017) titled "Developing Digital Collections". We also collaborated on the #DLFteach project #DLFteach Toolkit 1.0 with a chapter titled "Thinking About Digital Archives: One Tool at a Time" and a forthcoming chapter on copyright in the studio classroom for the ACRL book, Creators in the Academic Library.

The process of creating the project began as many Visual Resources databases we are familiar with have in the past - by answering a series of questions related to the desired outcomes, tools available, maintenance, sustainability, and preservation. These questions, the solutions I chose, and those that still need to be addressed will be the topic of this presentation. The digital project was created with an open-source EXHIBIT site using a Google spreadsheet for the data set, images stored in Flickr, and a Google map. This has not been the most elegant of solutions, but it does force one to think in terms of data sets rather than the more comfortable narrative analysis. And more importantly perhaps, it serves as a pilot project for establishing a series of questions and parameters needed for creating similar projects for my constituents.
