This repository is a demo for ENG 470/570 students to clone in order to create individual project workspaces. It contains templates for all required components of the final portfolio, written in markdown. (Recommended markdown editor: dillinger.io).
- readme.md (this file): a template to record project-level metadata, taken from UO Libraries' research guide to Doing Digital Projects in the Open. To customize it, delete this header section up to the horizontal line (---).
- license.md: the license defining how others can reuse your data and other content in your repository.
- project-log.md: a weekly log for tracking your research notes and progress. This is also where your pitch, draft annotated bibliography, and draft environmental scan go. Revised versions of those materials will likely appear in your white paper.
- data-management.md: your data management plan, explaining how your project files are stored, named, published, and protected.
- presentation.md: visual aids for your presentation at our class symposium in week 9. You may choose instead to use PowerPoint, in which case this file will be presentation.ppt or presentation.pptx.
- white-paper.md: final write-up of your project and lessons learned from conceptualizing and prototyping a researched digital humanities project. Your white paper will also contain, embed, or link to the project prototype itself.
- _config.yml: the file that provides basic styling info to turn your repo into a static website.
- index.md: the front page of your website, which can link to or aggregate any other parts of your repo using relative links.

Data was taken from Beyond Toxics website and Oregon Legislative website.
Description of methods for data collection and processing: I did research on Google Scholar and UO Libriaries by using the key words Beyond Toxics, Enviornmental Justice, Eugene Oregon and West Eugene. As I found data I saved them into a google document and added them into my google drive on my desk top. As my data was collected I went through and got different data from different places and lowered down my sources and what I added into the timeline.
The process of this project could not have happened without many sources that I used for research. I would like to first give acknowledgment to the founders of Beyond Toxics (Mary O’Brien, Anita Johnson, Michael Carrigan, Steve Johnson & others ) who I have gathered a lot of information from. They are also the founders and do the work for Beyond Toxics. Without everyone who works for and volunteers for this project, I would have no project. I also would like to give acknowledgment to Professor Mattie Burkert who has helped and gotten me through all the steps to get my project to where it currently is. Lastly I would like to acknowledge the English 470 students from last spring term as well as the students from English 250 winter term for diving into this project and giving me inspiration.
As this project is going into the issues and impacts of toxic waste, many people have been affected. I would like to start by acknowledging that this subject and issue has impacted a lot of families and paying tribute to those that have been seriously impacted by this issue. This can be a sensitive topic for people and I hope this project impacts in a helpful way.
As a student at University of Oregon and resident in Eugene, I would also like to acknowledge that this project is based on and doing research on Kalapuyla land. Kalapuyla people had their land taken from them by colonizers in the nineteenth centry and I would like to point out that all the research done for this project is based on their land and information is used from their land.
