An Elaboration on Project Ideas
February 26, 2014
The one idea that I like the most from my last post is looking into the change of the size of Washington D.C. The history behind why the changes were made is what is interesting. Next steps would be to look at maps of D.C. throughout history and to look up the history of time around the times that the size changed. Looking for maps would be done at the library of congress website, and other research would have to be done through traditional web searches and searching through databases for primary sources from the times of change. Books would be another great source of information, and there are quite a lot of books on D.C., being that is the nation’s capital. Diving into this subject will be tricky but the plethora of information out there will definitely help.
