Places/Peoples navigation banners
on the Suppressed Histories Archives website
This is another of the mega-navigation pages through which you’ll be able to explore the site by region. Right now they go by continents, but eventually more detail will be added: countries or regions (like Central Asia, Great Plains, the Chaco) and peoples.
More banners remain to be created for the Caribbean and the Arctic. The content on these regional navigation pages will overlap with that in the Subjects / Patterns page, which takes a global view.
We’ve fixed many of the broken links on the new Suppressed Histories Archves page, but have some more to go. You can explore it here. However, links to the image tiles on the main page haven’t been corrected yet. (We redid the site in a DEV sandbox, so have to retag links for the old, extremely creaky site that I first set up in 2000. Like a century ago in internet time, so much has the tech interface changed since then.
The Videos pages are working, but since they’re embeds, they take a while to load. Give it time. There are three pages, the first of my videos, the second with other content from the Net, and the third, interviews.
In phase 2, we’ll begin to make visible content that my tech wizard Glenn has migrated over from the Suppressed Histories Archives Facebook page (visit and follow!), from my old blog and some of my online courses (I’m turning some of the content to public access). A bunch of formatting has to be done on those pages in the database to get them readable and explorable.
Phase 3 will be tagging all the content, grouping it by subjects and places, and pouring it into the navigation pages (see previous post for a taste of those). It’s a lot of work, but I’m gratified that it is finally moving forward after years on the shelf because I could not solve the many tech issues. My thanks to Glenn Meador for taking them on, and for donating many hours of skilled labor, entirely out of support for this work in global women’s history.
Really excited for this project!
