Argument of the Project
My final project will be a digital archive on the 2024 US Presidential Election. My archive aims to provide an in-depth, dynamic, and accessible resource for understanding the key events, figures, and narratives that are currently shaping (and will shape) this critical moment in American history. By curating and presenting a diverse range of both primary and secondary sources, the archive will explore significant developments such as the decisions of major political figures, the marketing strategies employed by candidates, and pivotal events that influenced public opinion and election outcomes. I plan to investigate all political perspectives, including the Democratic, Republican, and Third-Party/Independent influences, allowing for a more holistic view of the campaign. Moreover, the use of Omeka allows for comprehensive metadata tagging, ensuring that users can easily search and explore the collection, which will help me have a long-term impact. The digital format also supports the inclusion of multimedia elements such as images, speeches, and social media content, providing a more engaging experience for users.
