Research Focus

I am a digital public historian working on two distinct projects — a digital history of the Appalachian Trail and a project designed to preserve, in digital form, America’s coastal historic sites that will be lost due to coastal inundation as a result of sea level rise.

Current Projects

■ Appalachian Trail Histories is a digital public history of the Appalachian Trail, America’s oldest and most iconic long-distance hiking trail.

■ Beneath the Waves is a project designed to collect and preserve, in digital form, the history and visual record of coastal historic sites that will vanish due to sea level rise.
