While working for Sarah Lawrence’s Academic Computing Department, I was given the assignment to completely reconstruct the website for the Sarah Lawrence Archives.
The archivist had a general idea in mind; she wanted the site to reflect more closely the environment and air of Sarah Lawrence, look more professional than its predecessor and be accessible for visitors with visual or hearing impairments.
Working closely with the archivist, I created the new Archives website, including templates for new pages for her and an easy-to-use template system for various exhibits she wished to eventually put on the Internet.
Throughout the project, the archivist frequently shared the site with many of her colleagues, both for their comments and just to “show it off.” She was very excited to watch the project evolve and enjoyed showing it to everyone after its launch date.
