Writing & Content
All writing on this site including case files, reflections, and commentary
was created by me for DH 201: Introduction to Digital Humanities
as part of the “A Love Letter to the Old Web” project.
True Crime Inspiration
The case files on this site are intentionally general, non‑graphic, and de‑identified.
They are composites inspired by common patterns found in missing‑person,
cold‑case, and high‑profile investigation timelines.
While researching how modern timeline sites organize information, I viewed several
publicly available true‑crime timeline pages (for example, missing‑person and cold‑case
timelines). These sites informed the structure of my timelines, but I did not copy
any wording, details, or case‑specific information.
This project focuses on how timelines shape understanding, not on retelling real cases.
Images & Graphics
• Starfield background tile: free animated background archive
• Under construction GIFs: classic 1990s GIF collections
• Counter graphic: retro counter GIF archive
• Buttons and dividers: public‑domain Web‑1.0 GIF repositories
All images are used for non‑commercial, educational purposes as part of a project
recreating vernacular Web‑1.0 aesthetics (1995–2005).
Code & Structure
All HTML and were hand‑written to imitate late‑1990s personal website.
I used FreeCodeCamp and Code accademy to learn HTML.
Midnight Timelines is a love letter to the old web and a reflection on how
we read and interpret true crime timelines online.
