The goal of this class is to demonstrate how documentary material from the past in a nearly obsolete format can be re-used, re-mixed, and re-interpreted to be of use to contemporary audiences and communities. Some of your work on the class collection will be public and exhibited online, thereby extending its use. Some of your work will be live, in communities. Your final project will be some organic mix of live and digital, and should be documented in an exhibit on the class site.

Projects can be in the form of traditional research (a paper, a talk, digital scholarship)

Projects can be in the form of an artwork, exhibition, performance or digital work.

Ideally projects will be a hybrid of one or more of these forms.

Projects will be collaborative

Projects will allow students to offer their personal skill sets but not be limited to them

Projects need to link to a community partner which can make good use of it

Projects must also include materials that will be added to the class archive: written research, project documentation, videos, readings, etc.
