Mapping Oshawa’s Musical Legacies during the Period 1964-79: Focused Mapping


(Digital or Analog), Original Archival Research, Category Creation, Annotation. Value


40 marks.
Due Nov. 14

This is a major research assignment that will require the generation of
original
findings


based on the creative use of archival and other similar resources. The scheduled public


library visit is important for your success.
This assignment may be done in groups of


either two or three, and singly, but no more than three.


Create or adapt an existing Oshawa map to suit your objective (the focus will be the


downtown). Yes, by map I mean map with streets on it, augmented by icons that you will


create. Google maps are useful templates. You are required to remake and remodel an


existing map and to annotate them as well. Your annotations will be informed by


categories relevant to your search results and your period of focus – not the entire 1964-


79 period, but a representative period, such as a cluster of years, maybe less, depending










on what is found by your research. The map you are producing, and the accompanying


explanatory materials (annotations as footnotes or other accompanying texts), shows the


cultural resources of Oshawa’s musical heritage in the downtown area (some


geographical flexibility is allowable, of course, in order to indicate nearby sites, but how


you integrate these is a design problem to be solved). How you understand musical


heritage resources will be key to your project.


You must also explain how your map is to be used – remotely, online? By solitary


walkers? Groups out for a field trip? Do they all need cell phones? Or at least online


access at home? To this end, then, one non-content focused annotation will take the form


of a short “User’s Guide” and must be included in your final map package.


Find a suitable medium in which to work (i.e., you can use a hand drawn poster which


you can then photograph) or create everything digitally, but I would
not
recommend


using Power Point.


Integrate narrative materials and or links, or text blocks, or images. What is important to


know? Since not much of any story can be told directly on a map/maps, annotations are


required – footnotes, back pages, supplements, etc. Imagine you are a visitor to the city


with an interest in either local history and/or music, what would you create for such a


person to understand the formative musical legacy of the City of Oshawa? Would you


create both (or only one) a digital and or analog version (paper pamphlet)? Imagine this


scenario: if somebody picked up one of your pamphlets at a local shop, what would it tell


them and how would they use it?


The data for this assignment, besides a few examples from class lectures, will be


generated and sorted by you, student researcher. This data is not something available on


Google but must be dug out of a variety of less visible local source materials.
