Preserving Memories_A Digital Collection
An editorial project exploring the preservation of dance memory and oral histories through archival research and infographic design.
Preserving Memories: A Digital Collection is an experimental book design and editorial research project exploring how artistic memory and oral histories are documented, preserved, and digitized within archival institutions. Inspired by the Dance Oral History Project at The New York Public Library for the Performing Arts, the project focuses on choreographer Anna Sokolow and the preservation of her artistic legacy.
Through archival research, the publication translates oral history material into a visual narrative examining the relationship between memory, documentation, and digital preservation. Typography, editorial sequencing, and information design organize the research into a structured timeline of Sokolow's life and work.
The publication includes a folded eight-page infographic timeline developed from research conducted at the library, extending the book's visual narrative into an interactive print element.
