"Cultural Maps, Cultural Tours" is
the center's first major project. CSUMC is creating a digital archive
of materials documenting the traditional cultures and heritage of
Wisconsin. The archive will have images, written information, audio
recordings and video recordings of traditional music, foodways,
folk art and other material culture from a variety of cultural groups.
As part of this project, CSUMC and the
Wisconsin Arts Board will
be creating a network of educators, students, community residents
and folklorists, across the state who want to document their local
communities. Presentations developed by classes on local culture will
be posted on CSUMC's server, as part of the "Cultural Maps, Cultural
Tours" project.
