Regional Media Legacies (RML) Project Update!
Friday, April 30 at 6:00 pm ET / 3:00 pm PT
Please join us for a project update and celebration of the Regional Media Legacies (RML) Project! A project made possible with support from the Robert David Lion Gardiner Foundation.
Register for the virtual event here.
About the Event: RML Fellows Robert Anen and Claire Fox will be sharing samples of work accomplished since November 2020, along with upcoming plans for work over the summer. Community partners from the Railroad Museum of Long Island, Hallockville Museum Farm, and LTV Media Center will share their experiences with the project. The program will also feature presentations by MIAP graduate students doing spring internships with Queens Museum, RC Diocese of Brooklyn, and Los Herederos, as well as a screening of materials recently digitized for access.
About the Regional Media Legacies (RML) Project: In 2019, New York University's Moving Image Archiving and Preservation (MIAP) program launched the RML project. Media made for regional audiences, especially those housed in organizations that lack archival resources or the skills of audiovisual specialists, often constitute what libraries and archives call hidden collections—rare recordings that capture local history and culture in a way that larger and better-resourced media collections often do not. The archival profession and scholarly community now recognize that local television, home movies, the works of independent artists, and region-specific productions tend to document lives and communities that are often invisible to national media and the entertainment industry.
We’ve continued to learn more about the local region, and to experience media with unique historic and artistic content. We look forward to sharing with you all!
The Regional Media Legacies project at NYU MIAP provides reasonable accommodations to people with disabilities. Captions will be provided via AI-Media. Requests for additional accommodations for events and services should be submitted at least two weeks before the date of the event. Please email Cristina Cajulis (cristina.cajulis@nyu.edu) for assistance.
This event is free and open to the public.
