EW Museum

  If I were to make a museum for everyday writing I would include all the different means it can come in such as letters, scrapbooks, postcards, and etc., as I feel all the different ways everyday writing can come in are all important and each one gives a little something different.
  Then, to organize the many different types of everyday writing I would split it up into four main categories: public, private, digital, and non-digital.
  I feel the public versus private categories are necessary because the two are written very differently. I love note to one person varies greatly compared to a Facebook post everyone sees. Most postcards, letters, and texts of that nature would fit into the private category, whereas most blogs, tweets, and similar writings would go into the public category.
  Then to break down the public and private categories even further, I would separate each into writing used with digital technology and writing used without it. I feel like this separation is necessary because it divides the new writing from the old in a sense. Some people are interested in older antiquated writing, however some only enjoy the new age of writing, with Facebook posts and that sort of stuff. And some enjoy both types, so they can visit both sides of the exhibit. Also, this may be just me but I'd like the museum to include mostly random and interesting pieces of everyday writing, but still have a portion of the artifacts as everyday writing from celebrities/athletes, historical pieces, or just famous writings. I think that would be cool and different.
  Finally, I like the idea that some other students had in which you leave an empty room where visitors can leave personally interesting pieces of everyday writing or their own definition of what everyday writing is.
