The project appears to open up unprecedented opportunities to undertake preservation treatment and provide patron access to legacy Civil Rights materials—analog recordings, photographs and manuscript materials—along with the born-digital objects created through ongoing interviews. However, the process and the tools developed for the documentary project raise fundamental and challenging questions regarding the resources and effort required to preserve and sustain legacy materials. A key component of the initiative is a collaborative cataloging application, developed in 2012, that provides the documentary team the means of uploading metadata about newly conducted interviews while in the field. The tool allows real time, or near real time cataloging of assets at the time of acquisition. This saves an enormous amount of time that is usually necessary to describe and organize materials by capturing complete and accurate information about them with less ambiguity from the very beginning of the documentary process. But how does this data rich and robust material subsequently intersect with historical collections of uncertain provenance, with bare-bones descriptive information and questionable technical characteristics? The project offers up an interesting case study in how one institution of cultural memory negotiates the gap in intellectual control of and knowledge about the content and subjects of legacy materials in comparison with contemporary documentation.\u003c/p\u003e"]}},{"label":{"en":["Language"]},"value":{"en":["English"]}},{"label":{"en":["Publisher"]},"value":{"en":["Association for Recorded Sound Collections"]}},{"label":{"en":["Rights Statement"]},"value":{"en":["\u003cp\u003eCopyright Association for Recorded Sound Collections\u003c/p\u003e"]}},{"label":{"en":["Video Editor"]},"value":{"en":["Nathan Georgitis (Video Editor)"]}}],"summary":{"en":["\u003cp\u003eThe American Folklife Center (LOC) and the Smithsonian's National Museum of African American History and Culture are conducting a five-year Congressionally-mandated initiative to interview and document the experiences of men and women who participated in the historic events of the Civil Rights era.
