Digital Archive Topic: New Jersey Art Collections
The archive will contain images and documentation on three prominent families who were significant figures during the industrial revolution in New Jersey. Most of the archival material will come from associated local museums, the Passaic County Historical Society, Cooper Union, and our own William Paterson University.
Digital Exhibit Topic: Collecting the Past: Industrialists and the Landscape
The digital exhibition will incorporate my ongoing research of the capitalist class of the nineteenth century. I will explore prominent industrialists of the capitalist class in the late nineteenth century, who admired and collected landscape paintings as atonement for modifying the environment and as a project of cultural class formation. By using a variety of art collections of these prominent individuals, I am understanding the motives behind why landscape paintings are significant resources for historic interpretation of the nineteenth century.

Overall your layout is very clean and appealing. You have clearly done a great amount of research on this subject. This is a very well done exhibit. I am just listing any type of minor mistakes I noticed, clearly just some typos.
The Landscape
- Great page overall just caught a few typos. Ill list them below in bold.
THe landscape was discussed in the context of how it was exploited and its connection to wealth in scoiety.
By the 1990s the ocntext of landscape was influenced by cultural studies.
The S. Paul Boochever Collection
No corrections necessary. What would be interesting is possibly defining some of the terms that are unfamiliar to those who have no experience in art. Just a thought but not overly necessary.
