As a project in a History of American Sport class, the author charged students with researching individuals or issues in Trinity University athletics history in the period from 1950 to 1991. After investigating their subjects in the university's special collections and archives, examining past issues of San Antonio-area newspapers and Trinity University publications, and interviewing at least two individuals, students created an online exhibit dedicated to their subject. To display their work, students used Omeka, which is a free, flexible, and open-source web-publishing platform created for the display of scholarly collections and exhibitions. The author collected data from extra credit interviews and a set of reflective questions that students were required to answer upon completion of their project. Five general categories stood out when the data was examined. Regarding student benefits, they practiced multiperspectivity, frequent critical thinking, and learned different types of life lessons. In terms of the actual project, students expressed higher motivation due to its local history components, and pride in creating a viewable product that displayed their work.
