2002- Partial Requirements for an MS in Digital Media, Frances Hamilton CONTACT: hastudio.com
Many thanks to my thesis committee Renee Kemp-Rotan, Dr. Althea Sumpter, Dr. Jay D. Bolter and Dr. Stephen Mamber and to Dr. Bolter’s studio Sweet Auburn Augmented Reality and to Lauren Keating’s great input and interest.
The historical content owes absolute credit to:
- Karen Huebner of the City of Atlanta Urban Design Commission for providing building elevations.
- The National Register Nomination records available at The Georgia Historic Preservation Department of Natural Resources.
- Fabulous historical research done over the years by highly qualified historians, and to the Apex Museum’s publication by Herman “Skip” Mason Jr. Going Against the Wind – A Pictorial History of African Americans in Atlanta for a large majority of the photographs and historical building timelines.
- The book Where Peachtree Street Meets Sweet Auburn – A Saga of Race and Family by Gary M. Pomerantz, 1997 provides a plethora of historical background information, especially about the Dobbs family and the spirit of Sweet Auburn Avenue.
- The United States Department of the Interior National Park Service generously loaned out many visual and textual materials.
- Several photographs are the courtesy of the Atlanta History Center and many rolls of film were shot by the author on site on multiple occasions. All the photos except those by the author need to be safe guarded for their copyrights and this site is not in the public domain officially until that occurs.
