This Interactive Qualifying Project created a consistent framework for the Worcester Historical Museum to display, modify, and encode city directories for a wide variety of users and to direct users to historical materials digitized by third-parties. The design focuses on conforming to the needs of individual users, utilizing a streamlined appearance and format while also keeping advanced options available in the information storage sections, including optical character recognition searching for each digitized city directory.
