Preserving Memories_A Digital Collection
The main objective of this short book is to give the reader an idea of how the memories of illustrious characters have been cataloged and digitized over the years as part of the collections inside The New York Public Library for The Performing Arts. The initial inspiration was taken from The Dance Oral History Project, which has been a vital part of the Jerome Robbins Dance Division since 1974.
For the purpose of this project, here the focus is on one of the interviewed choreographer, Anna Sokolow, aiming to visually demonstrate through a timeline how memories have been preserved into the digital collection.
