The challenges that I am currently facing with my digital public history project are gathering more information about both Koreatowns, finding a plugin to add Korean language, and searching for before and after images of both Koreatowns. In order to overcome the challenges, there are a few steps or goals that need to be followed. First, I will reach out to two or three, first-generation Korean Americans who are knowledgeable about one or both Koreatowns. I would like to find out more information about the zoning of Koreatown Dallas and how it has changed over the three decades. Also, I would like to learn more about the historical information about the different plazas in Koreatown Dallas. As for Koreatown Carrollton, I want to know more about the group who advocated for the historical marker to be placed in Koreatown Carrollton. It also brings up the concern that a historical marker is not placed in Koreatown Dallas, and if there is one, I would like to know why it is not visible like the one in Koreatown Carrollton. The other step is to acquire images of Koreatown Dallas from the 1980s and 1990s. I would like to have access to the before and after maps and/or designs of Koreatowns Dallas and Carrollton. For the second goal, I will search for a plugin that displays both Korean and English languages for item description and other information. For the last goal, I plan to add more description and historical information for the items that are currently on my project site; and I plan to add more images for the Koreatown Carrollton Exhibit.
