Abstract
The Texas Observer is an Austin-based nonprofit news organization that has been publishing magazines since 1954. Currently, their website includes a web archive of their born-digital content and a print archive containing digitized scans of their magazine issues from the past 60+ years. Using principles of information architecture and design, metadata, and digital collections, I created a report that analyzed the archives in their current state, set out the Texas Observer’s goals for a new design, and made recommendations for how the archives can be improved to optimize discoverability, searchability, and browsing for their rich backlog of content.
