Gathering Data<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To collect our data, we used the Postcard Collection<\/a> collection in the Carleton College Archives, found on the Digital Collections<\/a> page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We gathered 9 different postcards between the years 1900-1950. We each researched 3 postcards, evenly dividing the year range into 1900-1910, 1910-1920, and 1920+. With these postcards, we re-colored the original image with AI and rephotographed the original image location. Additionally, we researched the history of each building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why 1900-1950?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In the Postcard Collection, the scope of this collection only includes postcards from the first half of the 20th century. Speaking with the Carleton College Archives<\/a>, we were told that these parameters were placed because they enabled the project to become more manageable.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
