"Counting the Dead: Arizona and the Forgotten Pandemic" aims to re-embody Arizona's influenza mortality data from a century ago, illustrating the ways in which illness had spread across our then-young state. With this exhibit, the digital humanities scholars are also telling a story many have not heard — that flu deaths in Arizona, in 1918, were underreported by as much as 1,000 percent.
