http://bryanandrachuk.blogspot.com/2007/05/my-digital-history-internship.html
The pastime of past time. Bryan andrachuk's public history blog. My Digital History Internship. As I noted in my last post. I am currently working with Bill Turkel. On a digital history internship. I'm using MIT's Exhibit software. To create a website that documents street name changes in London. The idea came out of a major paper I wrote last term on the same topic. The bylaw that changed the name, and, where possible, I may opt to include a little social history behind the name change. It's fine becaus...

the pastime of past time: What I've Been Doing
http://bryanandrachuk.blogspot.com/2007/08/what-ive-been-doing.html
The pastime of past time. Bryan andrachuk's public history blog. What I've Been Doing. A few people have asked me what exactly I do at History Television. A fair enough and quite normal question to ask. I ask people all the time what they do when at work. Here's a quick breakdown: the other people (the actual employees) at History. Give me projects to work on. I work on them, then they give me more. I also do lots of other things. We all clear now? Since it's a History Television. A very sick, sick indiv...

The pastime of past time. Bryan andrachuk's public history blog. A Comedic History Break. This comic from Pearls Before Swine. How I often feel about history and its aficionados:. I fell off my chair when I read this. Really. Right off. Have you ever experienced the horror of telling someone a historical nugget that, to you, is intensely interesting, only to look at the receiver of your tale and see a thick, clear glaze over their eyes? It seems to happen to me almost every time I open my mouth. I didn't...

the pastime of past time: To Be Continued
http://bryanandrachuk.blogspot.com/2007/05/to-be-continued.html
The pastime of past time. Bryan andrachuk's public history blog. I'm taking this blog on a slightly different tack. From now on. Since I'm no longer being graded on the frequency and content of my blogging, I have a little more leeway. In what I can write. What this greater freedom will mean, I cannot say. Plus, it's not as though I was all too limited before. So, for the next few months, in conjunction with the final stage of my M.A. I'll be blogging about things in the orbits of my internships. Add to ...

the pastime of past time: Can I Carve the Turkey?
http://bryanandrachuk.blogspot.com/2007/07/can-i-carve-turkey.html
The pastime of past time. Bryan andrachuk's public history blog. Can I Carve the Turkey? I noted in my last pos. That I’m interning at History Television. Three days a week for the next three months. One challenge I’m already facing is shifting my mindset from history to one focused on television; I am fairly certain that the “television” outweighs the “history” in History Television. I do not mean that as a sleight; it’s just a statement of fact. History Television. I am not saying that they have. Movin...

http://bryanandrachuk.blogspot.com/2007_07_01_archive.html
The pastime of past time. Bryan andrachuk's public history blog. I was fortunate enough to be able to attend Alliance Atlantis. Final staff party last week. I was expecting a smallish affair, but was blown away when I walked in the door. There were (I was told) some 600-odd people there. Which, upon reflection, really shouldn't have come as a surprise, since Alliance Atlantis. Is a pretty darn large company. An historian have any place in this industry? WAAAYYY back in the late 1980s. Dedicated an entire...

The pastime of past time. Bryan andrachuk's public history blog. Public History Controversy: An Obligation? An interesting idea was brought to the fore in our public history class on March 7th. Exhibit displayed at the ROM in the very early 1990s) or a less politically-charged dinosaur exhibit. The assumption is that the latter would be the choice of most people. I question this assumption. Is it true that people always choose the easy route? Museum (which will go unnamed) earlier this year. The cura...

The pastime of past time. Bryan andrachuk's public history blog. Photography, Shmotography (Part One). In researching and crafting the text for my artefacts for our class exhibit on inventions and innovations in London. Some people will argue that photography and filmmaking are nothing if not the stories of our lives. I disagree. I think that images (both still and moving) are quite often poor substitutes for the stories they attempt to relate. Wrote a great blog. I suppose you could ask me what “r...
