Presenting: My Thesis!
After a year of unboxing, researching, cataloging, photographing, rehousing, and, yes, writing, my thesis project is complete.
I'm extremely proud of my end products: the physical and digital forms of the Bates College Clothing Archive, accompanied by a written portion explaining the reasoning behind the choices I made in the process of developing this archive. I'm also immensely grateful to all of the people who supported me during this year -- thank you!
Because I was awarded Honors, my written thesis is available through the Scholarly Communication and Research at Bates (SCARAB) digital repository -- I find it very fun that my work on digital archives gets to be housed in a digital archive! The Bates College Clothing Archive digital presence is also publicly-accessible now.
Stay tuned for a post about the photography setup I created for the BCCA!
