Seth Kotch, assistant professor of digital humanities in the department of American studies, received an NEH Digital Projects for the Public grant to create Media and the Movement, an online archive of broadcasts from noncommercial and African American radio stations during the civil rights era. The project will digitize and make accessible for the first time a unique archive of radio recordings and oral history interviews from the 1960s and 1970s

Kotch is collaborating with the DIL and its technical lead, Michael Newton, to develop a user interface for experiencing these recordings.
