Donating:
Donations of audio or video do not have
to be in digital format. We can have almost any format
digitized and return the originals to you. You can
also have them digitized locally and send us the CD or
electronic files. Please contact us to let us know
what you have and in what format.
Some damaged tapes/film cannot be digitized in their entirety.
Whenever possible, we try to capture as much meaningful content
as we can.
Capturing
Technology:
We are fortunate that our family seems to
embrace technology in all its forms, and the 19th and 20th
Centuries were a time of technological change at the consumer
level. The Web Galleries show the shift from the rare
formal portrait to large numbers of casual photographs.
Here in Multimedia, we see the emergence of home audio recording
using reel-to-reel and cassette tapes, and later the use of home
video (Super-8, video cameras and now digital recording).

1960s,
Various family gatherings
(Detroit, MI USA; Eugene Gottlieb)
In 1961, Gene
Gottlieb got his hands on a new type of reel-to-reel
tape recorder. Always up for some fun, he recorded
some of our family shows.
On Sundays, the family would gather and everyone
would put on shows. The kids would lip-synch
to records and do variety acts, Gene would do "Man
on the Street" interviews in the style of Steve
Allen, and whoever was around was roped into skits,
musical numbers, and any variety of fun and games.
The audio clips below are from a variety of family
gatherings in the 1960s. They represent a time
and a place and what we was going on when you got
too many of us together in one room. |

specifically asked both the videographer and the

she always complained that they didn't do what she
wanted.] |
