We aim to target UMW alumni, as well as individuals interested in local Fredericksburg and World War II history. Our advertising will consist of graphics to be presented on the TVs in Simpson Library and the Hurley Convergence Center. Additionally, we will get a banner printed to be put up in the CRUC. To promote the site to residents outside of UMW\u2019s campus, we will design flyers that will be posted around the downtown Fredericksburg area on community boards and reach out to the Fredericksburg <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/fxbg.com\/blog\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">tourism blog<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to potentially get our site mentioned.

The project will be preserved through the download of a file of the website on a Google Drive to be shared with Professor <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">McClurken<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The website and all of the other aspects of the project will be stored in a downloaded folder and can be uploaded to a new WordPress site if needed.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tools<\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">WordPress as a website hosting on Domain of One\u2019s Own<\/span>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"2\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mwcwwii.umwhistory.org\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/mwcwwii.umwhistory.org\/<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"2\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Theme: Inspiro<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"2\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Content Areas:<\/span>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"3\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Homepage: An introduction to the project with a timeline of international, national, and local WWII events [Week 7]<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"3\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">About: About the team, why we did the project, etc. [Week 6]<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"3\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Assisting in the War Effort: MWC students and how they helped in the war.

This comparison allows those who might be alumni of UMW but have not visited campus recently to get a visual understanding. Additionally, we may use overhead map photographs to compare as well.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Canva<\/span>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"2\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To create graphics for advertising the project and gain traction for the site.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Simpson Library Collections<\/span>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"2\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Simpson Library Collections holds a good portion of the materials we\u2019re going to display on the project website.
