In 2017, I received a grant from the Virginia Beach Historical Preservation Commission to produce a website and research paper on Seaview Beach, a historical African-American beach in Hampton Roads. That website and corresponding paper can be found below:

For several years, I taught a historical geography class at Old Dominion University. Students used Sanborn maps, city directories, newspaper archives as well as university and public library archives to construct histories of Norfolk neighborhoods. The information and photographs were then used to produce websites so that the public could have access to the information.
Below are links to those sites:

Rendville, Ohio, was an anomaly in time and place. This small Appalachian coal mining town was a model of successful integration during the post-Reconstruction era, a period in which race relations were at their lowest.
Rendville was the subject for my master’s in geography at Ohio University. The full thesis can be found here.
