Finding and Using Moving Images In Context

The Maine Humanities Council grant for Moving Image Review Online, $5000 in support of digitizing and providing search tools for 20 years of Moving Image Review, Northeast Historic Film’s newsletter, reached the end of its grant period in May. We submitted our final report on May 23. Because the infrastructure we built is electronic, we submitted (along with paper copies of narrative and financial reports) an online version providing access to the ingredients. Part of this enriched report is a 14-minute screencast by Teeter Bibber that takes you behind the scenes into Greenstone3, the digital library open source software used by both MIR Online and Finding and Using Moving Images in Context. On the phone, Victoria Bonebakker, Maine Humanities Council associate director, said laughing, “Don’t drag me into the 21st century.”
