This week I put finishing touches on the online exhibit, and Mark made it public. It was really exciting to see all my hard work come together and to be able to share it with friends and family, as well as with my faculty advisor, who said it looked wonderful.
Since I still have several hours left in the internship, I began scanning a book called the Autobiography of Alexandria Cantonment, a yearbook-type chronicle of a WWI camp in Alexandria, Louisiana. There are some short histories and descriptions, alongside page after page of photographs of soldiers and staff at the camp. There’s a ton of content to scan, and I hope I’ll be able to complete it by the time my internship ends.
