This week, we focused on the appearance of our Omeka exhibits. We concentrated on how the sites would be seen by other people; as website designer and creators, we don’t have much power over how visitors to our Omeka sites access and interact with our exhibits. Therefore, it is important that the website is attractive, fluent, and easily navigable. For instance, while the website will tell the “story” of our soldier, it’s important that if the user clicks the pages out of the ideal order we have concocted in our minds, that the website content still makes sense. My exhibit on Wilhelm Kurz will be divided into three main sections; before the war, during the war, and after the war. Antebellum, my only information on Wilhelm is his immigration record, so that will be the main focus of the section. During the war is the period that I have the most content on Wilhelm for, so this will be the bulk of my website. Tentatively, it is divided into “unit movement,” and “injuriess sustained.” The content will be text, still images of the Google Map Engine map I created (as well as a link to the actual  interactive map) , and a few of the records that verify Wilhelm reported injuries from the second Battle of Bull Run. In the after the war section, the exhibit will focus on his pension records and marriage to Philippine, because that is the only information I have on Kurz post-1963. Ensuring that the site flows well will be a challenge because this is a narrative with a clear timeline and order, but I believe it will be possible, especially since one can deduce that if they begin with his “military career,” there are obviously events in his life that occurred before that; in other words, Kurz’s military service makes it easy to tell in story un-chronologically.
