About

“Butchertown’s Animal Geographies” is a digital humanities project created by Mia Partlow as part of the Master of Library Science degree program of Indiana University Bloomington’s School of Informatics, Computing, and Engineering. Using topic modeling and mapping, this project investigates the spatial and discursive development of the Butchertown neighborhood of Louisville, Kentucky, which was the site of slaughterhouses, tanneries, soap factories, and stockyards from the nineteenth century to present day.
