Jackson During the Great Depression: Traveling Museum and Oral History Project
Jackson College students created a traveling museum highlighting the experiences of Jackson residents during the Great Depression. Students recorded and transcribed 20 oral histories, thus INCLUDING new voices in the discourse. They also helped author a booklet and created displays. The traveling museum was featured at libraries across Jackson. Students researched in microfilm, scanned 100s of photos, and wrote museum labels.
