Sharing and Connecting Our Stories through “Archival Drama”

This session presents a collaborative sociology-library-theatre project that uses devised performance as a tool for qualitative research into individuals’ experiences with family immigrant stories. The team created two original dramatic pieces from archival materials, and used audience reactions to explore deeply-held feelings linked to personal objects. The project uses Johnny Saldaña’s work on ethnodrama to articulate “archival drama”, a bridge between arts, humanities, and social sciences

Coral Way: A Digital Oral History and Transcription Project

'A Digital Oral History and Transcription Project of the First Bilingual/Bicultural School in the US' Poster presentation from the Living the Future 7 Conference, April 30-May 3, 2008, University of Arizona Libraries, Tucson, AZ.The University of Arizona Libraries is partnering with the UA College of Education, Historical Museum of South Florida and the University of Miami Special Collections Library to create, and make electronically accessible, an oral history of the first federally funded bilingual/bicultural school in the country in Miami, Florida (Coral Way Elementary). The national impact of this original bilingual program influenced federal legislation and Arizona’s educational system. Much of the existing published information about the school, such as text book references are either incorrect or incomplete. The poster session will map out the process of planning and implementing this outreach and collaborative effort. It will describe the plans for the oral history project which will capture through personal interviews the stories and memorabilia of those teachers, administrators, students and their parents involved in the first five years of the program (1963 – 68).This item is part of the Living the Future collection.
