Touring Lincolnville: A Celebration of Historic Black-Owned Business is a collaboration of the UNF Digital Humanities Institute with the Lincolnville Museum and Cultural Center and the St. Augustine Historical Society. Through the course ENC 4436, Writing as Social Action, students researched black-owned businesses in Lincolnville, then created metadata files for the Florida Master Site Files and the Sanborn Insurance Maps. They also created original stories based on the "rhetorical circulation" of business practices in Lincolnville, which we will be available on the Resilience Wordpress site on May 2, 2022. There will be a pop-up archival presentation of their work on May 7, from 2:30-4:30 at the Lincolnville Museum and Cultural Center, St. Augustine, Florida
