Fall 2024: Greenwood Cemetery

    Hello, my name is Hiram Davila. I am in my second year at UCF in the History Master's program, and I am extremely excited to share some information about my internship this semester. My current research interests regard the early modern Spanish Empire, particularly the Spanish Inquisition. This blog will be acting as my journal week-by-week as I intern with the city of Orlando and Greenwood Cemetery throughout the Fall 2024 semester.     For my "final" week, I did not do much in regards to Greenwood. As I talked about in my first blogpost, my semester has been filled with different research projects and obligations. However, as a student, nothing this semester was as important than Capstoning and my Thesis Proposal Defense. I am lucking that both Sarah and Dr. Lyons, who is my supervisor at the Florida France Soldiers Stories Project, respected my wish to solely focus on finishing my thesis proposal as well as studying for my exams.      Since I am...

My current research interests regard the early modern Spanish Empire, particularly the Spanish Inquisition. This blog will be acting as my journal week-by-week as I intern with the city of Orlando and Greenwood Cemetery throughout the Fall 2024 semester.     In my last post, I had outlined my problems with Adobe Acrobat and how it has stunted my progress on creating my A/V log. This week, I am happy to report that I got past that barrier and was able to successfully create and submit the A/V Log! However, I still have my issues with Acrobat, which I will expand upon more.     I mentioned before that through the university, students have access to a lot of helpful programs, such as Adobe Acrobat, which I use for more than just this internship at Greenwood. However, I w...
