Results/Findings
The final outcome of the project is a physical exhibition at the Museum of Missouri Military History and an online exhibition www.prideofmissouri203rdcoastartillery.com. The physical exhibition is limited in object and narrative space. The online exhibition has the means for the presentation of more objects, articles, oral histories, and educational outreach. The physical exhibition has an end date, but the online exhibition can continue to be built upon. The project illustrates the value of the archives of the Museum of Missouri Military History for doing research projects on specific Missouri military groups.
The exhibitions have not had a public debut, but both have been announced on social media pages. The Museum of Missouri Military History posted the exhibit was up and ready to be viewed on the museum’s Facebook page. Haley Heil posted about the exhibition on her personal social media pages. The online exhibition will also be shared on social media pages and will be given to the 203rd Coast Artillery Battalion historian. Overall, this project has shown the value of the Museum of Missouri Military History to other students working on research projects about Missouri military history.
