In LIS 680, this small group developed a walking tour of Greenpoint in collaboration with Brooklyn Connections, an educational program at Brooklyn Public library that uses primary source resources from the Brooklyn Collection to teach history and information literacy to Brooklyn students. By using primary source documents from the past and matching them with present-day locations, then plotting them on a map using History Pin, the students have created a resource and accompanying lesson plans that Brooklyn teachers can use.
The Brooklyn Connections PSA is a short video designed to encourage teachers to participate in the Brooklyn Connections program at Brooklyn Public Library with their classes. By exploring the programs mission and goals, and showing some of the fantastic projects completed with primary sources with the BC staff, this small group created a PSA that will be used by BC to promote their program on their website.

For this project, we wrote Python scripts to manipulate data from the Spanish Artists Dictionary, a research resource created by the Frick Art Reference Library. The first portion focused on distilling and organizing data in order to create visualizations using Tableau Public, while the second portion involved using Python to clean and enrich the dataset by matching names against an authority list of subject headings. This presentation will outline the two parts of the project and explain how Python was applied to a cultural heritage dataset.

The relationship between the United States and Mexico has always been a complicated and tumultuous one concerning land, people, and culture. Many parts of the United States that we know as the west coast and southwest today, at one point used to belong to Mexico. Today, it seems very few people seem to realize this. One of the domestic issues in politics today regards immigration and border patrol around Mexico. However, Mexican immigration to the United States is a more recent phenomenon from the last twenty years. The fact of the matter is that certain parts of the United States were Mexico at some point, and a lot of the people who were living in those territories were already Mexican people. In many ways, the story of the Mexican worker in the west coast is parallel to other stories of imperialism, however, the story of Mexican workers, in particular the bracero program seems to be a forgotten chapter in the history of the United States.
