 The Introduction to Digital History course on 9 October 2024 dealt with the digital platform Impresso. In the first part of the course, we were given explanations of what Impresso is. Impresso is a digital platform that allows you to access old newspapers and to examine and analyse them. Impresso has digitised various newspapers, such as Swiss newspapers like Gazette de Lausanne or Luxembourgish newspapers like Luxemburger Wort. We were also given an insight into the various filter functions offered on Impresso and how they work.
 In the second part of the course, we had to do group work. In this work, each group had to deal with a filter function. I was a member of group 8, and we had the filter function ‘Text reuse’. This function is used to search for a specific term in the newspaper articles or to analyse how often this term appears in other newspapers. This function is therefore used to analyse how this term was present in certain periods and how important they were, but also to analyse how the text has developed over time. The result of our group work was that we could not find much useful information. The reason for this is that the filter function ‘Text reuse’ did not work properly. The filter did not recognise useful passages on our topic, ‘League of Nations’, it recognised numbers, special characters or only half of a word. For this reason, we didn't get very far in our group work, but we were able to try out and test this filter function, which was also the aim of the group work.
 
+## Storymaps, 16.10.2024
+In the course on 16 October 2024, we saw the ‘Storymaps’ programme. In this course, after the explanations of what maps are, we formed groups, and each group dealt with its own topic. My group's topic was Preserving Society Hill, which was a map of a neighbourhood in Philadelphia. The task for the group was to prepare a presentation on story maps based on the given questions. My group tried to use the programme to see what was possible, but there wasn't enough time to complete the task, so we weren't able to finish our presentation to our liking.
+Another group had the John Snow Map as their theme, at the beginning of their presentation on Storymaps they explained who John Snow was. Then they put the first layer on the map, which was the map of Soho from 1854. The map dealt with the outbreak of cholera in London in the same year and the group explained what the consequences of the outbreak were. In layer 2, the group added the death toll and the larger the circle, the higher the death toll. The map should be the first step in confirming Snow's theory. Layer 3 contains the water pumps of Soho, thus verifying the second step of Snow's theory, which says that the spread happens via water and not via air. In layers 4 and 5 we can see that the water pump in Broadwick Street was the ‘hotspot’ for the outbreak, as there was a high death toll in the radius of the map, which can be seen on the map.
