Data Visualizations

Background

I earned a Master's Degree in Digital Humanities in 2020 working with a project partner, Lauren Kehoe. Our capstone was a union catalog--kind of like WorldCat, but just for zines, and only six libraries to start. We have eight now! ZineCat

Data Visualizations

As an example of a data viz project with a zine catalog export (primarily using zine genres) I did a project where I analyzed zine content by lustra (that's five year periods). (Please scroll all the way to the bottom for links to the full rundown of this visualization and for a network analysis tool.)

Other data visualizations with the same dataset can be found here. And here's a network analysis tool an MFA student at The New School made with a similar catalog export.
