This Paper is based on Offshore Oil Riggs in Louisiana
Please follow instructions exactly
Must include Tyler Priest and his website (https://typriest.com/projects/) as a source.
You will also be creating a website. I will be providing the login information for this. You will sign in using this gmail.com account (Username: calaistyler@gmail.com Password: ABC123???)
All digital exhibits should use wix.com. Allow Wix to create the site for you and when prompted about what the site will be used for, type, History Museum.
The exhibit should tell a story and make a point. The point will need to highlight its connection to oil history in the United States. It needs to have evidence that supports that point. Evidence is found in primary sources, and visitors to a history exhibit, either in person or digital, want to see objects. They want objects connected to the story and larger point the exhibit is making with the story.
Example: If creating an exhibit about the unequal living and working conditions found in Dhahran, Saudi Arabias oil worker camps in the 1950s, youd want to show images of American Camp. Youd describe American Camp and maybe have a few images of different aspect of life inside the camp: swimming pools, churches, golf courses, etc. You might also have an excerpt from an oral history from someone who lived there. That section might be its own page, linked to from the home page that introduces and outlines the general exhibit and story. Another page might be on Saudi Camp, and look similar. Maybe you have a good magazine or newspaper story that contains useful quotes from a Saudi official. Other pages might highlight the sorts of jobs Saudi men could get with Aramco, in juxtaposition to those America men could get. Moreover, you might have a page that shows the unequal medical treatment Saudis received when compared to Americans.
In the end, you will have text introducing the exhibit. You will have a title that encompasses it, and you will have multiple pages, with images, videos, documents, songs, and other objects that help enrich the telling of the history.
Here are some examples of sites:

Narrative:
o Write a 4-5 page narrative history of your topic that clarifies the importance of your topic in American oil history and connects it to the course themes.
Quotations:
o Include a list of at least five quotations used on the site. These quotations, for example, could come from an account of an oil field worker, describing the nature of their job, or someone in the community reacting to an oil-related environmental problem, or to the dependency of the states economy on oil. These are only examples, however. Your quotations should help illustrate the topic of your project. Provide a brief description (short paragraph) about the context of the quotation and why you think it is significant. Why are you including it? Be sure to provide a full citation for the quotation. Quotations should be no more than 50 words.
Visual Images or Objects:
o Furnish a list of objects (at least 6) used. Images should be fully cited using Chicago style (and copyright holder must be included) and be fully annotated. This section should explain why each image/object is included. What do these images/objects, for instance, allow you as author to demonstrate to readers/viewers?
Bibliography:
o Provide a list of all the materials that you have consulted for this project. Citations should be in Chicago style, using the proper bibliographic format. Each item must be fully annotated. What does the source offer?
For primary sources, where does it lead you, the historian? Briefly summarize its contents.
For secondary sources, what is the authors argument? Briefly summarize its contents.
The Website Address
o You should have a fully complete site using the above.
