AMIA 2024

This session explores the integration of archival media into media production and digital storytelling education. By leveraging archival footage, students can create compelling narratives that connect historical content with contemporary perspectives. The session will provide practical strategies and case studies from media literacy and production classes, highlighting how archival media can enhance learning and foster creativity. The two case studies will come from two university libraries working with Media Studies courses, with different archival content, leading to a broader discussion of best practices and strategies for incorporating and potentially exhibiting student projects using moving image archives. The session will include access to example assignment prompts and files for reuse in many educational contexts.
