Digital Object Analysis
In response to the in-class virtual visit to The Tenement Museum’s Strikers & Stylemakers exhibit, each student will select a digital artifact to document and analyze with a one-page response paper. The artifact may be selected from the open-access digital collection at The Tenement Museum or the student may select their own source material including photographs, letters, diary entries, audio/video recording or other creative works. A digital version of the source material must be uploaded to each student’s individual drive folder along with the analysis including:
-
A complete bibliographic entry citing the primary source
-
A narrative description of the source including contextual information situating the object in place and time
-
An analysis dissecting the object’s role and significance both in current day and in relation to when it was originally created
