Audio materials: As our graduate students investigated materials at the Gore Research Center they discovered an excellent set of oral histories that had been conducted with alumni from past decades. From that extensive collection, twenty-five were selected because of their relationship to the lead themes of our collection, such as World War II, Civil Rights, etc. Our initial plan was to digitize and display the typed transcript of each interview and then offer selected
audio excerpts as a supplement. When a new Director joined the Gore Center he decided that the transcripts needed additional work to be ready for online publication. We adapted by finding a work around to offer only the selected audio excerpts. It consisted of loading MP3 files to our server, but not within CONTENTdm, importing a photo of the subject as the digital object for the CONTENTdm record, and then creating a metadata field to include links to the MP3 files. The work of selecting, reviewing and excerpting the oral histories was done by one of our graduate student workers as an internship for course credit. She selected and downloaded the freeware program, Audacity, to manage the sound files and participated in designing the customized process for creating the records. We hope to include the entire transcript of
each record at some point. At present our CONTENTdm records direct users to the items available at our partner across campus.
