Testbed for the Redlining Archives of California’s Exclusionary Spaces (T-RACES)
Principal Investigator(s): Richard Marciano
Research Areas: Archival Science > Data Science, Analytics, and Visualization > Library and Information Science > Machine Learning, AI, Computational Linguistics, and Information Retrieval
Making publicly accessible online documents relating to the practice of “redlining” neighborhoods in the 1930s and 1940s in eight California cities. “Redlining” refers to the practice of flagging minority neighborhoods as undesirable for home loans. The project creates a searchable database and interactive map interface.
