Info Challenge 2023
Problem Statement
The Council on the Preservation of Anthropological Records (CoPAR) is an organization founded in the 1990s to promote archiving and discovery of archival materials for cultural materials around the world. Since then, its website has remained the main resource for information about where to find anthropology archives, and how to encourage archiving practices among anthropologists. The current format of the CoPAR website is outdated, counterintuitive, and difficult to search and navigate, and resources are not presented in a visually compelling format. The participants were tasked with brainstorming ideas and redesigning the website, improving user-friendliness, and developing visualizations that will facilitate greater access.
