Synopsis
This exhibit explores the travels of two Minnesota State University, Mankato professors at two different points in history. In 1936, George J Miller, professor of Geography at what was then Mankato State Normal School, travelled through the American West to document the Dust Bowl and its effects on the landscapes of the region. In 1996, Martin Mitchell, also a professor of Geography, embarked on the same journey to document the region 60 years later. While both of their projects could be their own exhibit, this project aims to explore the similarities and comparisons between Miller and Mitchell's work. Both projects are displayed with their own timeline individually, as well as being displayed together through an interactive story map.
