Project Title: "WGBH Educational Foundation Media Library and Archives,
University of Massachusetts/Boston and Columbia University: The Vietnam
Digital Library"
The WGBH Educational Foundation Media Library and Archives, in collaboration
with the University of Massachusetts/Boston (UMB) and the Columbia
University Center for New Media Teaching and Learning (CCNMTL), will create
a digital library of material relating to the 1983 series Vietnam: A
Television History. Scholars, academics, and the general public will access
the original interview materials and stills, and most of the stock footage
gathered for the series. Entire interviews will stream online and link to
interactive transcripts, allowing users to explore an interview at any
point. Online note-taking will enable social networking among worldwide
users. The project will be a model partnership among a public television
stationšs moving image archive, university library staff, and a university
digital media center.
