Final Blog- Cortland Fire- Grace Staudt

The work we did in the archives while researching the Cortland Fire of 1919 was extremely beneficial as it created a way for the information to be accessed more widely. By taking using technology such as the scanner and WordPress, we were able to make a sort of online museum so that people who may not be able to make their way to Cortland, New York can still access not only the information but see, as best they can, the old newspaper clippings and photos taken at the time of the fire. Old documents and records were able to be uploaded with descriptions alongside them. The project helped us to take all of the information from the archives, and make it into a story in an online museum form.
