Speakers: Sandra Narva, Senior Program Officer and Mark Feitl, Program Specialist, Office of Museum Services, Institute of Museum and Library Services Digital Media: Storytelling for the Modern Age Red Carpet Room The Citizen Potawatomi Nation Tribal Heritage Project is a concentrated effort to research and to record individual family histories and to capture tribal history as it happens. Utilizing digital video, still photography, audio recordings, and archival documentation, the project generates DVD/video episodes, from which copies are available to family members at no charge. The episodes are also added to the global database, creating audio-visual “folders” into which additional interviews, documents, and images are added as they are recorded. This session will cover techniques for acquiring digital archives, such as family films, photos, awards and audio reels and editing them into audio/video programs which can then be used as museum content. An introduction to digital archiving and the use of digital media in videos for web or museum viewing will also be covered.
