Title: Center for Documentary Studies Student Documentary Projects, 1980-2010 and undated

The Center for Documentary Studies at Duke University teaches, engages in, and presents documentary work grounded in collaborative partnerships and extended fieldwork that uses photography, film/video, audio, and narrative writing to capture and convey contemporary memory, life, and culture. The CDS student documentary projects collection houses work created by students enrolled in courses on documentary studies offered by Duke University in Durham, North Carolina, and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC), sponsored by the Center for Documentary Studies at Duke. The projects focus primarily on the social life and customs of persons living in and around rural and urban areas of Durham, Chatham, and Orange counties, North Carolina. Includes images of religious life, schools, African Americans, college students at Duke University, migrant workers, North Carolina farmers, and the built environment in various locales, chiefly in Durham, N.C. Project formats typically consist of black-and-white photographs and slides, but newer submissions also contain digital color prints and media such as cassette tapes, videos, and CD-ROMs. Oral histories of N.C. civil rights and labor activists and other individuals are associated with certain courses. Audiovisual materials may require reformatting before use. Acquired by the Archive of Documentary Arts at Duke University.
