For the Research Analysis Essay, we had to create a 6-8 page Historiography about a site of New York. We had to research 4 different periods of time on the site of our choosing; Precolonial times, Colonial times, Present day, and 200 years in the future. During the entire historiography, we were supposed to have a certain “Lens” on our site, where we would specifically focus more on the “community” or “financial” aspects of our site.
