How We Will Share Results
We will be using a wide variety of techniques to share results as the project develops. Ultimately, the work of the Citizen Scientists will lead to a free to access database of U.S. sailors being made available. We will also be running a conference and publishing a book on the ordinary U.S. sailor during the American Civil War following the project's conclusion. Throughout the project we will be regularly sharing some of the research as part of our ongoing dissemination and outreach programme. This will include written pieces and visualisations on our project blog at www.civilwarbluejackets.com as well as on our Twitter, Facebook and YouTube accounts. Later on we will also be producing a short Podcast series discussing some of the findings. We will alert users to new outputs when they become available through a Newsletter and directly on Talk.
You can get an idea of some of the ongoing ways we will be sharing the results of your Citizen Scientist generated data in the visualisation below. It was produced based on the transcription of the Muster Rolls of USS Louisville, a vessel we looked at as part of a small pilot project in 2020.
