"This Interactive qualifying project was an investigation into the advancements and methods of portraying "alternative" histories, and applying those methods to commemorate the sesquicentennial anniversary of Worcester Polytechnic Institute. Upon thorough investigation and research into the digital humanities, I created an online, contributory museum, and utilized techniques and advice from top museum professionals, historians, and digital humanists to ensure successful gathering of artifacts and increased interest in the subject matter."
