Regional Media Legacies Project Update
Friday, October 23, 6:00 PM ET - 7:15 PM ET
RSVP here
Please join us for a project update and celebration of the
Regional Media Legacies Project. Made possible with support from the
Robert David Lion Gardiner Foundation.
In 2019, New York University's Moving Image Archiving and Preservation (MIAP) program launched the Regional Media Legacies (RML)
project. Media made for regional audiences, especially those housed in
organizations that lack archival resources or the skills of audiovisual
specialists, often constitute what libraries and archives call hidden collections—rare recordings that capture local history and culture in a way that larger and better-resourced media collections often do not.
The archival profession and scholarly community now recognize that
local television, home movies, the works of independent artists, and
region-specific productions tend to document lives and communities that
are often invisible to national media and the entertainment industry.
At this project update event, we will be sharing samples of research
and conservation work accomplished by our Fellow Robert Anen over the
last year working with organizations such as Sea Cliff Village Museum,
Long Island Studies Institute, and Mineola Historical Society; and the
work our second Fellow Claire Fox has been engaged in since joining the
team in September 2020 working with LTV (Local Television) Archive, and
planning a series of webinars dedicated to digital preservation topics.
We will also present on work done by MIAP graduate students at
internships with Brooklyn Historical Society, Booklyn, Weeksville
Heritage Center, and a summer working with the RML Project team. In
addition, we will share upcoming plans for work with other organizations
such as the Brooklyn Museum, Queens Museum, Railroad Museum of Long
Island, and more.
It’s been wonderful for us to learn more about the local region, and
to experience media with unique historic and artistic content. We look
forward to sharing with you all!
Free and open to the public.

suffering?
