Budget: $250 – $750 USD
Hip Hop Culture & Civil Rights Archive Project for Students
Hello, I'm Neil Patel, and I'm looking for passionate students who are interested in both hip hop culture and civil rights movements to help with an important digital archiving project.
Project Overview:
I'm seeking to create a comprehensive digital collage featuring artists from the now-defunct HQ Hip Hop blog (https://web.archive.org/web/20110731024159/http://www.hqhiphop.net/) for preservation on Archive.org. This project involves extracting the extensive list of hip hop artists from this historical blog and organizing them in a visually compelling way that highlights connections between hip hop and civil rights movements.
Perfect For:
Students studying music history, African American studies, or digital media
Those passionate about preserving hip hop culture
Individuals familiar with using tools like Tampermonkey for web scraping
Anyone with knowledge of hip hop's connection to social justice
Tasks Include:
Extracting the full list of artists from the archived HQ Hip Hop blog
Creating a methodology to locate these artists on Orpheus.network using Tampermonkey scripts
Designing a visual collage that represents the diversity of hip hop artists
Researching and highlighting connections between featured artists and civil rights movements
Preparing the final collection for submission to Archive.org
Requirements:
Strong interest in hip hop culture and its historical significance
Understanding of civil rights history and its connection to music
Basic knowledge of web scraping tools (or willingness to learn)
Experience with digital collage creation
Familiarity with Archive.org's submission process is a plus
Timeline:
2-3 weeks for completion, with potential for ongoing collaboration.
This is a unique opportunity for students to contribute to preserving an important piece of hip hop culture while building their portfolio. Your work will help ensure that this valuable cultural resource remains accessible to future generations of researchers and hip hop enthusiasts.
Please include your experience with hip hop culture and civil rights history in your application.
