The Crew / Acknowledgments
After reading the log of the Clarence, each student identified an area of interest, though these evolved over the course of the semester. The overall goal was to present a portfolio of individual projects, with a common purpose of explicating the history of the Clarence and its times. Some of the students have signed their contributions. Across the project as a whole, there has been a good deal of collaboration, with regard to the research and also the use of the platform. From the outset, we sought to create a site that could bring the story of the Clarence to a wider audience. We hope you enjoy what we have produced.
