  As aforementioned, The Progressive Dinner Party contains 39 digital works by female artists, which were chosen from Carolyn Guertin's site Assemblage: The Women's Hypertext Gallery. These works can be accessed through their place settings, and are listed  below in alphabetical order by title. Also included here are tags describing the work, which include descriptions in the previous page. These tags serve to provide a brief overview regarding the nature of each piece for the reader's convenience.
  
  The majority of the works have been run through the Webrecorder for preservation purposes. Many can still be found in their original states on the web, though the updated version of The Progressive Dinner Party uses the URLS generated by the Webrecorder whenever possible.

  39 Works Key | Contributors

• 1 2019-08-28T13:39:07-07:00 39 Works Key 12 gallery 2019-09-02T15:12:41-07:00 To present the 39 restored works, a system was devised involving tags and organizing them alphabetically by title. The works themselves can be viewed in alphabetical order in the next page, and the tag descriptions can be found here. These tags serve to provide a brief overview regarding the key features of each piece for the reader's convenience.
   

  Tag Summaries

  
  Area Maps
  Area maps are used to create images with clickable areas. They are usually presented as a <map> tag towards the end of an <img> tag, followed by a list of screen coordinates. Though rarer, area maps is included as a tag because of the unique functionality it introduces, allowing users to hover over various spots on an image to access different hyperlinks.
  
  Audio
  This is for works that include auditory components.
  
  Broken or Missing works
  Unfortunately, not all of the local files for the works within The Progressive Dinner Party could be obtained. This was either because the work no longer existed (such as Slattery’s Glide) or because contact could not be made with the author for missing files. When possible, an external link to the most complete version of the work was provided in the website.
  
  Collaboration
  This tag is applied to works that were produced by multiple artists.
  
  Flash
  Works that used Adobe Flash to produce animations or sounds were given this tag. Unfortunately, all support for Adobe Flash in modern web browsers will be dropped in December 2020; thus it was imperative that these works were restored within the Webrecorder to ensure their survival.
  
  Frames
  Frame sets are used in HTML to divide the screen into sections, or "frames", that coexist while simultaneously remaining separate from each other. These are works that use frames as main components for separating menus, images, buttons, and more.
  
  GIFs
  GIFs (Graphic Interchange Format) are still or animated images used by works to introduce animations with technology other than software such as Adobe Flash or Shockwave.
  
  High Level Interactivity
  On occasion, a work will demand greater participation on the users part than average to experience the work.
  
  Hypertext
  This tag specifies works that focus on hyperlinking text as a way of communicating messages.
  
  Image-rich 
  Though many of the works featured in The Progressive Dinner Party include images, some of them cannot be easily navigated without them. Such works may be using images as the main way of presenting the piece. Others may include images to provide critical visual cues, such as written cues (like Home, Back and Next), or non-written cues (like arrows and other icons.)
  
  JavaScript
  Along with using the web coding languages HTML and CSS, JavaScript was oftentimes used to add more interesting functionality to a work.
  
  Linear
  For works that are presented in a linear fashion.
  
  Macro Hypertext
  This includes hypertexts that are unusually large, usually as a result of collaboration from one or more artists.
  
  Page Refresh
  Refreshing the page to redirect users to another is a fairly common practice among these web artists.
  
  Proprietary Software
  Many of the works relied on software produced by companies. Though Adobe Flash and Shockwave are considered proprietary, they were unique and used often enough to justify separate tags.
  
  Slideshows
  Artists on the web have many different methods of presentation at their disposal, which includes featuring their work as a slideshow.
  
  Tables
  This tag is given to works that utilize tables in an important way, such as for images or overlaying content.
  
  Video
  This is for works that include video components.
  
  Shockwave
  This tag is applied to works utilizing Adobe Shockwave. Though support for Shockwave was dropped in April 2019, Shockwave plugins are still available for certain browsers. Thus, it was imperative that these works were restored with the Webrecorder to ensure their survival.

• 1 2019-08-20T12:50:20-07:00 Micro Hypertexts 1 plain 2019-08-20T12:50:20-07:00 Micro hypertexts are characterized by their small size. This isn’t to say that they aren’t full of interesting content or meaningful connections. On the contrary, hypertext author Deena Larsen argues that micro hypertexts serve to prove that a hypertext is not to be judged solely on its size, but rather on the connections linking content within it. (New River 6 Author’s Note.) The following works within the Progressive Dinner Party match this description, providing users with quick hypertexts that still carry meaning through their structure, links, and storytelling. 
  
  Not all of these works are hypertexts in the traditional sense. While Mountain Rumbles by Deena Larsen carries the style of more classic hypertexts, works such as Light is Silent by Jennifer Ley incorporate interactive imagery to supplement the text. Girl/Birth/Water/Death by Martha Conway is another example, which allows users to make choices using various combinations of buttons displayed beneath the text. Despite these differences, the following works all share common elements such as hypertextual linking, short fragments of text, and user agency with regards to navigation.
