UK Film Series Looks at 1938 Documentary of Lebanon Family
"Reel to Reel: Special Collections at the Movies" will showcase the 1938 documentary "Our Day," telling the story of the Kelly family in Lebanon, Ky.
Doug Boyd is the Director of the Louie B Nunn Center for Oral History, part of the University of Kentucky Libraries. The great thing about oral history is its subjectivity and content; the not-so-great thing about it is that most of it is in analog format, un-transcribed, and time-consuming for researchers to use. Boyd and his team have been working diligently on software known as the Oral History Metadata Synchronizer, which will enable users to synch up transcribed interviews to their place in an audio or video recording.
