Networks in the Jim Peppler Collection
Who is depicted with whom in the Jim Peppler Southern Courier Collection?
View the full network graph of all people depicted in the collection. Warning--this network graph is large and will take a moment to load. However, it shows, in a surprisingly artistic and beautiful form, the network of relationships created by the photography of Jim Peppler as expressed by the metadata created by the Alabama Department of Archives and History. The crossover and lack of overlap between certain individuals is simultaneously able to spur creative and analytical approaches to studying the relationships between many of the Civil Rights Movement's notable and less well known figures as recorded by a regional newspaper.
Interested in exploring the data in more detail? Then download a spreadsheet of all relationships between individuals who appeared in photos together, open the file, and copy and paste the data into Palladio! If you are having issues, you can find tutorials and additional information on how to use Palladio on the project website.
