Index of the materials and resources hosted on the Hopewell Valley History Project site. As of February 2021, the available materials are organized into six collections, including some 90 Documents and books, 110 Maps and aerials, 140 Pamphlets and leaflets, 65 Property reports, 15 Panoramic aerials, and 1770 Images and artworks.
These different types of materials require different types of interfaces for convenient access to browsing and searching, including database tables for documents and maps, image galleries for photos and art, a simpler tabular viewer for browsing files, and a custom interactive mapping application for geographic exploration.
The individual files are grouped by town, collection-specific categories, and by year and description. Materials related to specific places also are identified and grouped by street address.
The main History Project site hosts the archive of materials. The Blog and Facebook page then provide updated on new additions. The interface for each type of material is listed below
History Project Materials – By Type and Associated Interface
