A Practical Introduction to Videohistory: The Smithsonian Institution and Alfred P. Sloan Foundation Experiment (Public History)

Editorial Reviews Midwest Book Review A Practical Introduction to Video History provides a history of the Smithsonian Videohistory Program, including its establishment as a formal pan-Smithsonian research program and its relationship with the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation. It also surveys written literature and similar projects, addresses videohistory as a methodology by exploring the application of videohistory in historical research (based on twenty-two Smithsonian projects), and provides an overview of technical and archival issues. Finally, six people involved with various aspects of the program evaluate the diversity, usefulness, and stylistic preferences of videohistory as a research tool. In addition, the appendixes provide a summary of all Smithsonian videohistory projects, as well as samples of documents needed for undertaking a videohistory project. A Practical Introduction to Video History is a useful and comprehensive introduction to videohistory and its many concepts and principles can be transferred and applied to local videohistory projects by municipal and county libraries, historical associations, academia, and interested individuals.
