EWHADP: Fresh Data (And Stickers) Available Soon

9/29/2015

I hope to be able to announce the latest iteration of the database soon.  The last database release (containing information on over 2100 structures) was all the way back in March of 2014.  Gah!
Picture
​The project got off to a quick start in February of 2014, but stalled when I had to direct my energies elsewhere later that year.  I spent the 2014-2015 academic year teaching a 4-4 at Grand Valley State University, and it was difficult to find time to do anything with the EWHADP other than teach look at the box of files and participate in a trial linking of the EWHADP database with DINAA. GVSU undergraduate Emily Gilhooly did make some progress on the database, continuing the process of consulting the original records in order to re-code some fields and add new data to others.  

With donated cash in hand from a successful GoFundMe campaign, I was able to hire University of South Carolina doctoral student Laura Clifford to work on the project this semester.  Laura's first job is to finish the checking and re-coding of all the records currently in the database. She's working on that now.  When that task is complete, we'll make the new database available and she'll move on to the next job: adding new records.  That will involve tracking down leads from publications we've already seen as well as finding new sources of data in print publications and online. Eventually  I hope to give Laura the the keys to this website so that she can write the "What's New" blurbs as she adds new structures, update the maps, and keep the online bibliography up to date. 

I would like to keep this project going next semester, but I'm not going to ask for more money until I have some results from this semester to demonstrate success.  

I would like to again thank those made a cash contribution to help get the EWHADP out of mothballs and running again: David Cusack, Ken Kosidlo, Josh Wells, and a donor who wishes to remain anonymous. In addition to my sincere gratitude, I have (as promised) a limited edition sticker for each of you. And I owe you beers.
