ORAL
HISTORY AND CULTURAL DOCUMENTATION
The Institute for
Cultural Partnerships works with community-based organizations
and institutions to document people's history, cultural traditions,
beliefs and practices, and perspectives and present them to
others.
The Institute works
with your staff, members, clients, and constituencies to record
and document both their personal and group experience. We
then assist you in developing materials, products, activities,
and events that serve to present such experience to others
in ways that are engaging, compelling, and true. ICP provides
customized, on-site consultation and training services that
will help your organization learn how to effectively collect,
organize, document, and communicate its history and cultural
experience to the broader public.
The Institute's
highly skilled, culturally diverse team of professionals provides
expertise in all aspects of documentation and presentation
of the past and of the present, including
- Oral histories and ethnographic research
- Artifact and photographic exhibits
- Printed publications
- MS PowerPoint Presentations
- Audio CDs and CD-ROM
The Institute's services have been used by the Civil Rights
History Project in Harrisburg, the 2000 Conference on Black
History in Pennsylvania, the PA Department of Education, the
Library of Congress' Veterans History Project, and the Boys
and Girls Clubs of Central Pennsylvania.

Skillman, ICP Director for Arts & Heritage Programs,
to discuss your organization's needs and how ICP can assist
you in “telling your own story.”
