Digital Showcase
In collaboration with the Center for Digital Storytelling at Berkeley, California, and the Digital Story Group of New York, we have begun to offer classes in which the basics of digital storytelling literacy are taught, and then used to bring the material world to life.
The first such course was "Creating a Virtual Exhibition/ Digital Story: Walter Benjamin's New York," offered in Spring 2002. A second, experimental, faculty/ staff workshop in July 2002 produced multi-media essays on our library and showcased some of the courses offered at the BGC.

Catena, the Digital Archive of Historic
Gardens and Landscapes
Sponsored by the Bard Graduate Center through a grant from
the National Endowment for the Humanities, Catena,
the Digital Archive of Historic Gardens and Landscapes,
and its companion website, is envisioned as part of a larger,
typologically organized archive of digital images with accompanying
educational materials. The initial component of Catena
is built around the villa, an important landscape type in
garden history. Its purpose is to serve as an educational
tool for teachers and scholars of landscape history affiliated
with schools and universities.
The Project Director is Johanna Bauman, the Curator of Visual
Media at BGC, who is administering and directing the project
together with Professor Erik de Jong. To be completed in fall
2005, Catena, the Digital Archive of Historic Gardens and
Landscapes, will include a searchable database of historic
and contemporary images of villas in Italy and other countries.
It will also contain an interactive website featuring texts,
plans, engravings, photographs, and other relevant documentary
and visual materials.
