The Re-Imagining Cleveland Project
Beginning this past Spring, the Center for Public History + Digital Humanities has been working on a collaborative project with Neighborhood Progress, Inc. entitled Re-Imagining A More Sustainable Cleveland. Aside from building a participatory website for project communication and documentation, the Center, through the hard work of undergraduate students in the CSU History Department, has collected over 30 oral history interviews with grant recipients and project leaders.

Video: More from the Sounds of American History Gala
After three years of successful instruction and collaboration, the Sounds of American History program is coming to an end. Even though programming continues this summer, the official closing of Sounds was marked with a Gala Event at Cleveland State University on May 6th, 2010. Our partners at the Educational Service Center of Cuyahoga County have put together a nice video highlighting both the enjoyable music of the 198 String Band and the impressive accomplishments of some of our participating teachers (including fascinating multimedia primary source presentations and even a new independently-created professional development website, teachersfortomorrow.net). Sounds has been a great experience all around, and represents not just a program of continuing education, but also the creation of a new community, centered around teaching American History in Northeast Ohio, and including participating teachers, project staff at ESC, faculty and staff at CSU, and a great many historical and educational professionals from other regions and institutions who came to Sounds events to share their expertise. To all involved, thank you for making Sounds of American History a success.
