Exploring Amistad: Telling the Amistad Story through Original Documents and ImagesGuy Hermann, Mystic Seaport Museum Demonstrations
"Exploring
Amistad" brings together documents, images, and contextual materials
from many diverse collections to provide a centralized, topic-focused,
point-of-access for research, teaching, and discussion about the Amistad
incident. Because Mystic Seaport owns little original Amistad material,
the project has forced us to find solutions to complex copyright, cataloging,
community relations, and presentation issues. The traffic generated
by the media blitz surrounding the film has added significant technical
challenges to the project as well. In the demonstration, we will discuss
some of the solutions we have found and the challenges we still face.
