2023-24 TEAM

The preliminary version of this digital exhibit was designed and constructed in summer 2023 by three St. Olaf College student researchers Xiaoyang Hu, Anneke Shiller and Natalie Wilson with mentoring from project initiator Prof. Amanda Randall. In spring 2024, another student researcher, Sophia Hayes, refined the site design and formatting, and added new content to the Legacies area.
