The Paradata

For those who might not be aware, the paradata of any project is in essence the explanation of the processes and decisions that shaped your work to its final form. As described by the London Charter, paradata are the, "documentation of the evaluative, analytical, deductive, interpretative and creative decisions made in the course of...visualization." (The Heritage Jam, 2021) Although some of my paradata is already outlined throughout this website, I have included two pieces of my paradata for you here, the link to my Github repository that holds three 'devlogs' (short pieces of writing outlining process), as well as a short video where I explain my process head on. There were many important conversations and inspiration that led to the final form of Projecting the LGBT Purge, and I wanted to take the time to discuss them!
