Timeline HTML Updated
Hey, guys.
Updating the HTML actually didn’t take very long at all. All we have to do is place the URL of the image that we want to appear in the bubble in the {image} column. Let me know if you have any problems.
One drawback, though: it will appear the same size in the bubble as the original picture, so no physically huge pictures unless we resize them.
Thanks goes to Austin for this, it took only 5 minutes.

James Farmer Scholars and Multicultural Center
Our presentation today was great. Way to go team!
Anyways, I think the next logical step in our research is to tap into other campus resources. Tim mentioned that we could go talk to the people that are in charge of the James Farmer Scholars program and the James Farmer Multicultural Center. These two outlets may provide some valuable insight to when he taught here.
The James Farmer Scholars website lists a nice concise blurb about his life, but then also lists all the awards he has received from various colleges and other sources in the nation. We should ask them for permission to use these dates, or at least link to their site. We might want to emphasize this because his program made a huge impact on the student minorities in the local community. This would be a great bridge to his continued activist work outside the UMW campus. Just a thought.

Before break I’m working on loading the links of the photos to the UMW archives to our timeline and Colin is going to work on the html to make it work. We’re hoping to have a meeting on Sunday or Monday to work on our wiki for the UMW historic marker.

Timeline and other news
First off, I love this theme.
Second, I spent some time on the Library of Congress website this weekend, and they have audio recordings of some of James Farmer’s speeches and press appearances. They are not, however, public domain, but it’s somewhere to look into. I’ll be up there in the Library later this week, so do you guys think I should check it out?
Now, the timeline. I did a lot to it.
- Added several Civil Rights Movement events and created a Civil Rights category.
- Beefed up some of the facts we had on some of the events.
- Added a “source” column so we can start putting in where we are finding this information.
- Changed the exhibit HTML code to show the source when the bubble appears after someone clicks on an event of timespan.
- Put our timeline out on the actual internet so that all of you can see what our timeline looks like after we add stuff to it in GoogleDocs.
Doing that last part was a trial. Here’s the bad news: since we have to modify an HTML document from scratch to put the javascript code into the <HEAD> tags, its not possible to put the timeline up in WordPress with the rest of our work right now. I tried and WordPress barked at me about security settings. We may have to talk to the DTLT people about it and see if they can make an exception for us on the umwblogs.org server.
I have a stable version of our timeline here on Geocities, but I hope to not keep it there.

Tim’s walk and talk
What can we use?
The problem is copyright
Is everything copyrights? Pretty much yeah, you can work on tracking down photos we don’t own copyright to. We can write to get them
Where what who how?
They’re in the archive…our own copyrighted stuff Tim will give to us….they are in a folder.
We could split up getting permission for copyrights.
Bibliography is done. The librarians have done it, but its not great for public consumption…but there is an index.
Tim will be back next week..next week we can start getting copyright.
Get a solid timeline… better sense of his life and biography
tackle lay bare and learn as much about james farmer and start a good timeline
cross reference dates
Tim will try to be in class next thursday
how many actual full text speeches are preserved in his papers?
