Making the digital history museum of the 1919 fire in Cortland was very intriguing because it’s a part of our school’s history. To learn about where and how our school changed location moved to “the hill.” Doing the research in the archives was different research than anyone is used to which I thought was better because it keeps everyone interested and learning new research methods.
I hope when people see our digital history museums they learn more about the Cortland fire of 1919. They see that it is an organized webpage and can navigate it with ease. They can get the most important facts and information without having to look long. A webpage with this digital exhibit on it should attract people to dig deep into it and look for more. Visitors will learn all of the facts about the fire and see pictures from when the fire happened that day. I think that is awesome to have real evidence and pictures of that day in Cortland in 1919.
