Posted on | december 28, 2009 | Reageren uitgeschakeld

The American Image is an online exhibit exploring John Collier Jr.’s work during the war years of the 1940’s. The photographs depict day-to-day life in America during World War II. The site serves two purposes. First, it brings the wonderful photographs of John Collier Jr. to a new audience. Secondly, a series of activities guide users through an in-depth examination of visual media. Bezoek: The American Image – Shooting Script Interactive.

Built in 2006, the American Image site was one of the first museum sites to use Flickr to connect with public audiences. In 2008, the site won the Museums and Web Conference Award for the Best Online Exhibition. You can learn more about the project on The American Image: The Photographs of John Collier, Jr. site, or you can visit John Collier Jr’s Flickr site. Developed by Ideum with Maxwell Museum of Anthropology.
