Last Wednesday Tony Gallego, of the LTC's media section, and I visited Patricia Stephenson to record her personal memories of her father, the Marshall's and living in Tucson as a child in 1930s. We are going to work on developing the audio and video into digital stories. Digital storytelling is something we hope to add to Through Our Parents' Eyes over the coming year and the segments of Patricia we hope will demonstrate the power of digital storytelling. We have applied for an NEH grant to fund digital storytelling and if we get it, we will be able to add some wonderful content to the project. Digital storytelling is very labor intensive and requires strong media arts skills.
Tom took a number of photos of the ship and men during the winter months
as the ship was locked in snow and ice.
Also on Wednesday, Patricia passed along Tom Marshall's photo album containing pictures from his trip in 1900 to Nome, Alaska, and to the Aleutian Islands. FYI, Nome and the Aleutians are on the SW side of Alaska. If you are interested in seeing images of these photos, I put a new section together on the Tom Marshall's Tucson website.
Hi Stuart-
I just stumbled across your blog, and read that you are interested in incorporating digital storytelling into Through Our Parents' Eyes- and I wanted to touch base with you about that. I teach with the Center for Digital Storytelling, and would love to see if you are interested in having us facilitate a workshop or series of workshops for you.
Please feel free to contact me at:
allison@storycenter.org or by phone: 480.296.3917
Hopefully we can connect soon!
Take care and best of luck to you in this great project-
Allison
