Analysis of an Archive

Protest or revolutionary literature is the culmination of social, political, intellectual and economical information that results in the evocation of emotion and inspires change. The University of Iowa’s Digital Library categorizes the diaries and letters written to and from soldiers during World War II. Although the Nazi Germany attacked Poland in 1939 and began the second world war, the United States did not enter World War II until December 8, 1941.

The collection of diaries and letters are intended to be used mainly for academic purposes.

The letters and diaries written at this time reveal the thoughts and emotions that often were not expressed publically for fear of societal rejection. Although the war ended nearly 74 years ago, the archive is relevant to modern political controversies. However, today we communicate through forms such as texting, email, Facebook, Twitter, and Snapchat.

Presentation Feedback: What I Learned

I think the biggest thing I learned from everyone's presentation is that social media isn't always the most effective new media tool. When we think of new media, our minds go directly to social media. Small companies with Facebook pages don't reach a large volume of people.  I think small companies should have a Facebook page to describe their company, but I think that a website with price points and detailed information is more suitable for some targeted age groups.
