Suggestions requested for Ipswich Oral History Archive
Some technical and curatorial questions raised by Blue, ICE project manager, in case anyone has useful suggestions.
The project is planning a multimedia (DVD/Flash/HTML) presentation of the digital archive they are collecting - representing the oral memories of local Caribbean people.
They have 25 short videos extracted from 45 minute interviews with local people and want to build this into a navigable interface for touchscreen displays in local libraries/museums. They have to build a DVD of these interviews, navigable according to topic/according to interviewee as part of the project plan, and are looking for DVD authors who quote to complete this work (paid contracting).
She’s also currently trying to decide how this material should best be presented as part of the kiosk displays which are to be distributed to local venues. There are a few practical questions which you might have views on. Can they simply run the DVD in a player, driven by a touchscreen? Is it better to buy PCs, with attached touchscreens? Does the content need to be repurposed for this kind of environment? Wonder if anyone on the curiosity list has experience of this kind of deployment, or would know someone. Your suggestions are welcome.
