My project is intended to map out in chronological order through StoryMap the different libraries that were created in the Metro East region, and a brief history of how each library came to be.

I have plotted a general area for public libraries that I want to include, and through this have decided that width instead of depth will be important for this project, due to the number of libraries I wish to include. As I continue to research them, however, this may have to be further pared down. List of places to include:

• Edwardsville Public Library
• Glen Carbon Centennial Public Library
• Belleville Public Library
• Fairview Heights Library
• Caseyville Public Library
• East Saint Louis Public Library
• Mississippi Valley Library District
• Madison Public Library
• Six Mile Regional Public Library
• Maryville Public Library

I also want to provide background on why so many libraries are considered Carnegie libraries, and so will also include at least one slide on Andrew Carnegie – this I’m not sure how I want to format, but for now is connected to his place of birth in Scotland.

I have a few sources throughout the rough draft, which is admittedly not as thorough as I would like, but does include a lot of information from the history portions of most library’s webpages, as will likely be the case for most of the locations I chose.

• History of Edwardsville Public Library
• A 1936 primary source on the history of Belleville Public Library
• Fantastic resource on the number of public libraries in the U.S. from 2019/2020 fiscal year
• Glen Carbon Centennial Public Library’s history pagehttps://glencarbonlibrary.org/library-history/
• I plan on finding more information about Andrew Carnegie and the libraries he funded, but so far Carnegie’s Wikipedia page, and the Carnegie library page are my starting point.

Outline:

OBSERVATION: I am a Mass Communications major focusing in video production, this means I care a lot about how the film industry works and understanding the way it operates. I already had some history of films from the 40s-60s being filmed in St Louis. I was also remembered that Missouri recently passed an incentive involving tax breaks for productions to come here, to help promote more exposure and revenue for the state.

PROBLEM: I want to gain more context as to what caused the decline in productions in St Louis and the rest of Missouri, even when certain stories being told in film take place in the state. I also want to clarify through my research what is being done to promote productions to return to St Louis.

FRAME: I want to conduct research involving the specific timeline of when productions shifted from St Louis and Missouri to other locations. I will take myself through the history of film specifically taking place in the St Louis area and surrounding locations.
