What makes Facing School 2020 unique? CAROL: We’ve become quite adept at quickly developing digital exhibits to make sure our community stays connected to history and shared experiences. We’re particularly excited about this new one, which helps us build a historical archive, directed by our curator Laurie Stein. The site is easy to use and gives users a place where they can share their stories and browse personal stories from students, parents and teachers, as well as news and information from the school and from media sources. We’re anticipating a vibrant living archive that will be used by historians for generations to come. The History Center serves as the exhibit administrator, ensuring that the content is appropriate and safeguarded against any risks to students. So, what can people submit? CAROL: The exhibit can handle a variety of content from photos and short videos, to artwork and journal entries. The platform, designed by PassitDown, is easy to navigate.
