Elise’s goals for the class are to help in building the website and contributing research on the Dayton Arcade from the years 1913-1945.

One thing I learned from this class is how archives work and all the things you have to do before you go to one, while you are there, and after you leave. When we visited Wright State’s Archive, it was helpful for me as it gave me a visual idea of what I needed to do while there.
