Education

A major aim of this project is to make data about Bunker Hill accessible to the public. The research team will  publish the transcribed information on OSF (Open Science Framework), a free open source platform from the Center for Open Science. Through OSF, researchers and community members can view individual card transcriptions as well as analyze aggregate data about resident demographics, building type, building conversion, and more.

Using household survey cards compiled by the Works Progress Administration in 1939, Bunker Hill Refrain will allow researchers and the public to learn more about the inhabitants of a Los Angeles neighborhood lost to urban renewal in the mid-twentieth century.

Bunker Hill Refrain

Each WPA survey card describes a household on Bunker Hill. The cards have basic information about the location of the residence, the entire building the residence is in, and the specific unit of residence. In this phase of the project we are collecting the dates of significance to the unit (Workflow 1) and demographics of the residents (Workflow 2). Please transcribe the information on the card using the two workflows.
