Arborwiki Industrial History Project
From ArborWiki
Users Ed and Murph have begun working on pages relating to Washtenaw County's 19th century and early 20th century industrial and related history. Some relevant categories include Category:Paper Mills, Category:Dams, Category:Industry, Category:History, Category:Doomed buildings, Category:Lost Ypsilanti, and Category:Lost Ann Arbor.
Ways you can help:
- Provide biographies of historical industrialists. See, for example, Cornelius Cornwell. (This will also help with user HD's goal of building up Category:People.)
- Provide pages on historic industrial buildings, whether they remain standing or not.
- Track down dates, employment figures, exact locations, and pictures for the people and places included in these categories.
- Union history and radical history should be rich veins to dig into, though nobody's started yet!
- Work on a time-based categorization standard, either something like "1860s", or "Party Like It's 186x", or something else entirely.
- Pictures pictures pictures! Whether these are taken from old sources (make sure they're public domain!) or are current pictures of the site/structure/product, these pages need photos badly!
