Together we came to a conclusion that (http:\/\/dsl.richmond.edu\/) showed an all around intuitive and user friendly format, that offered creativity and information in abundance. While on some of the sights we found their ideas are great but didn&#8217;t hit the mark for example; 1919 Molasses Flood site looks good as an initial concept, but appears to be poorly executed and difficult to navigate. Overall this list of sights gave us adequate in sight to the possibilities for our group project. An inspiration we have would to utilize the idea of displaying the buildings lay outs though virtual mapping similar to the Valley of Shadow (http:\/\/valley.lib.virginia.edu\/), maybe even adding video formatting.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Other thoughts:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<div class=\"message_content\"><span class=\"message_body\">Digital Scholarship Lab is very well organized, visually wonderful, and has a great mix of AV and text information.
