AAPB Curation Project

About

Kate Mitchell and Alyssa Knapp worked with the National Audio-Visual Conservation Center (NAVCC) on the American Archive of Public Broadcasting (AAPB) online curation project. The AAPB, a collaboration between the Library of Congress and WGBH in Boston, digitally preserves public television and radio programs created over the last 70-plus years and makes material from nearly 150 different stations accessible to the public. For the AAPB Online Exhibit Curation Project Junior Fellows, Mitchell and Knapp each selected a topic for an online exhibition using the PBS NewsHour Collection. They curated relevant NewsHour segments wrote accompanying essays describing the NewsHour coverage of their topic, which provided context for the viewer. Mitchell's project explores the NewsHour's coverage of civil unrest in American between the 1990s and 2021, while Knapp's examines NewsHour coverage of the proxy wars of the Cold War. In addition to curating their online exhibitions, they also each created a special collection centered on a theme of their choice - drawing from many different programs across the AAPB. Mitchell's collection highlights programs that capture the Asian-American and Pacific Islander experience, and Knapp's contains interviews with foreign leaders.
