"A Map of Home"

Document Actions

The Center for Literary Computing just completed a project for the "coming home" celebration, part of presidential inauguration week.

"A Map of Home" accompanies the the Coming Home website designed by WVU Web Services: http://cominghome.wvu.edu/ As you'll see, Web Services created a site featuring audio and video reminiscences by students, alumni, faculty, etc. associated with WVU.

Our contribution tackles the same topic from a different direction: rather than extensive in-depth videos taken in a studio setting, etc., we sent CLC interns out on the streets of Morgantown to gather candid snapshots and short observations on Morgantown as home. We then mapped these to the geography of Morgantown using Google Maps. Please take a look: the link is at the bottom of the Coming Home website (url above) or directly here: http://www.as.wvu.edu/english/mapping_home.html The map features a selection of materials gathered over several weeks of interviews. Project Credits: Sandy Baldwin, David Bello, Jon Harvey. Jeremy Justus, Christina Malcomb. Send comments or questions to clc@mail.wvu.edu.
