Description
Non-history majors often produce research projects that help to resurrect seemingly lost history, especially when conducted by students whose family history is featured. This presentation features a mobile historical app created to preserve the history of Rougelot’s Department Store located on the corner of Esplanade and Decatur from 1891 to 1948. It was compiled from New Orleans directories, articles from said period, and personal family oral tradition and family tree. Upon collection of information, a comprehensive story was constructed about the store and life in the French Quarter/Marigny at the end of the 19th century and into the 20th.
