The Sulphur Springs Heritage project is part of an ongoing commitment by the University of South Florida designed to address the rising interest in, and need for, heritage management by communities, civic organizations, and other groups focused on preserving the past as a key cultural resource. My name is Margaret Allsopp and I work with the USF Heritage Research Lab and the Sulphur Springs Museum and Heritage Center to gather oral histories, photographs, and artifacts associated with Sulphur Springs and Springhill, a historic African American neighborhood that developed alongside Sulphur Springs. My dissertation research is situated in Sulphur Springs and Spring Hill. I am interested in exploring the possibilities that new technologies have for engaging youth in heritage research preservation.
