“The timeline and map provide the curious with a chronology and background of the events that summer. The map can be filtered and adjusted to reveal patterns and explore each city’s events deeper. The Red Summer Archive contains over 700 documents and images from over 20 institutions across the country, which can also be filtered by location, type of document and other factors. The Additional Resources page includes lesson plans and secondary sources for researchers of the Red Summer, and the About page goes further into the collection, organization and presentation of the material on this site and plans for expansion.”
