For this project, we got our data from the Sports Information office which is run by Dave Pape. The dataset we were given contained all of the Carleton football games from 1883 that the Sports Information office has records for. However, some years before 1920 were missing so we decided to focus on the last 100 years from 1924-2023.
This data that we got from the sports information office is publicly available and so we are allowed to use it in our project. Additionally, since it does not contain any specific information about any students, we did not need to take any measures to anonymize the data to protect people’s privacy.
In our story map, we also used photos and game recaps from the sports information office from the 2023 season. These reports and photos are also publicly available online so we are allowed to use them and we made sure to attribute the photos to the person who took them.
