This project sought to better understand how interactive digital platforms might draw on the methodology of museum theater to facilitate access to archival content in a way that foregrounds the human, intangible dimension of the material and its social relevance. This project centers on a music library collection, relating to working peoples’ lives and customs in 20th century Thrace.
