Main Topic
The main topic of the exhibit that I am creating on omeka.net is a narrative that details the change of the boundaries of the District of Columbia. Not only does it talk about the dates the changes were made, but it goes into detail about the reasons why the changes were made.

The exhibit will include many maps throughout the history of D.C.’s existence and a narrative that details the history of the change in its boundaries. Here is an example of a map of Washington D.C.
It’s a map of the planning of the district. Through the use of maps and narratives fro each of the communities that used to be apart of the district, I hope to create an exhibit that clearly illustrates the change of D.C.’s boundaries while at the same time being as interesting as possible.
