Description
The museum director will work with student interns from the university of alabama school of library and information sciences to complete the digitizing, cataloging and hard drive back-up of all archival materials, including photos, promotional materials, radio scripts, technical data, newspaper clippings, and other ephemera. The ephemera collection encompasses approximately ten linear feet of archival material including a large collection of transcription discs used for broadcast in the 1940's and 50's. Project activities will also involve the application and evaluation of software for the museum's website to support a publicly usable database. The museum will continue collaborations with a robust group of consultants and organizations including the university of alabama, the alabama jazz hall of fame, and the carver theatre.
