I’ve worked on a wide array of projects related to the history of the built environment during my tenure in the libraries/archives and historic preservation fields.
City Archiving
Inventorying and archiving the City of Indianapolis-Department of Metropolitan Development materials, as well as handling reference/research requests related to staff projects, department initiatives, and legacy properties. Read more about my work in this National Trust blog. 
White River Plan
Read about the White River Vision Plan and the historic waterway research I did on 58 miles of the river within Marion and Hamilton Counties in blogs here. I facilitated seven community conversations and still do public programs on the topic on behalf of the WRVP. 
Housing Exhibit
Examine historic and contemporary causes of housing sales and lending discrimination with my exhibit, "Unwelcomed: A Fair Housing History of Sales & Lending Discrimination," I did on behalf of the Fair Housing Center of Central Indiana. The exhibit has been traveling since April 2022. 
City Bicentennial
Learn more about the Indianapolis Bicentennial, including historic content I developed for the City of Indianapolis' Indy Turns 200 website and my feature in WISH-TV's bicentennial special program. In addition, I co-wrote an essay for BELT's The Indianapolis Anthology text on Indiana Avenue architecture and entertainment, available for pre-order.
Redlining Context
Learn more about redlining in my Encyclopedia of Indianapolis Feature Story Article and the Living the Legacy: Indianapolis Redlining, a program series to kick off the Indianapolis Bicentennial exhibit. Indiana Humanities awarded me a research fellowship to continue this scholarship in 2021 with the Wilma Gibbs Moore racial injustice and structural racism fellowship. 
Architecture
Explore architectural history projects hosted by Indiana Landmarks, including my presentation on architect Evans Woollen in “The Mod Squad: IHS Modern Architectural Archives” for the Preserving Historic Places Conference and the updated version of the Historic House Research Guide, a starting point for completing local historic house histories.
LGBTQ History
Discover local LGBTQ history by viewing the Indiana Landmarks' LGBT Historic Sites Survey & Report; watch my program “Building Community: LGBTQ Spaces in Indianapolis” sponsored by the AIA-IN Chapter, the Indianapolis Historic Preservation Commission, and the Indiana Historical Society; and read more about lost LGBTQ venues in my piece for the book Crashing Through the Front Door: Low Pone's Living Archive. 
House Life Project
Examine the complicated intersections between displacement, affordable housing issues, and modern gentrification in this collaborative effort, People + Property: The House Life Project, which engaged in neighbors, community leaders, and artists. I wrote a piece on the neighborhood history and related themes around redlining and disinvestment.
Thesis
Read my thesis ““How Others Have Built”: A Sketch of Indianapolis Construction and Demolition Patterns” that catalogs the Home Builder’s articles featured in the Indianapolis Star between 1909-1926. This data-centric project heavily relied on ArcGIS to catalog demolition factors and offers trends on local demolition patterns.
