Smithsonian – STL partnership and black history
- Does digitizing these records effect how the public will interpret STL’s history?
- Are there significant STL black history gaps this project aims to uncover? or rather just history from the perspective of individuals?
- has this been done anywhere else? if so did it succeed?
- I think the quote “whether it’s your grandma doing oral history, or it’s a high-school graduation on VHS” does well to represent the many ways history can be captured and conveyed.
- I think that if they ran this program through schools or libraries and had students bring things in, it could be both educational and forward the Smithsonian’s goals.
