TRAUMA: The Triangle-area Underground Music Archive. A Digital Library Proposal. RTF |
TRAUMA is the Triangle Area Underground Music Archive, a digital library (DL) of popular music and musicians of the North Carolina Triangle, the geographic region in the central part of the state which includes the cities of Chapel Hill, Raleigh and Durham. TRAUMA is a prototype digital library which represents just one possible pedagogical method of representing information about the musical community that existed in the Chapel Hill/Durham/Raleigh region of North Carolina in the early-to-mid 1990's. TRAUMA is part of a larger project in which a documentation strategy for gathering materials on this particular period in North Carolina musical history is enumerated. The documentation strategy includes the collection of physical artifacts, oral history interviews with participants, and the contextualization of the historical record. The Triangle-area musical community provides media-rich content for the digital library, while the intertwining relationships amongst the musicians and community members allows us to explore the complexities of representation in the digital environment. The currency of the multimedia objects enables us to explore the entanglements of intellectual property issues to great effect. |
