On Sunday, September 18, 2022, Jill Hartke, Albuquerque Museum Digital Archivist, spoke about the digital resources of the museum’s photo archives and how she shares stories focusing on those about Albuquerque from the collection online. Have you ever wanted to learn how to create a visual podcast? She will introduce you to the way that she creates the photo archive’s “Picture This” visual podcast series. Some of the stories behind her “Picture This” podcast will be shared.
After her formal presentation and a question-and-answer period with the auditorium audience, she lead members of the audience on a quick tour of the photo archives display space and the research/ collections area at the Museum.
The program was held at the Albuquerque Museum at 2000 Mountain Rd. NW in Old Town. Parking is free in the lot south of the Museum. Admission to the Museum and the AHS program is also free. Seating is limited, so come early to guarantee yourself a seat. The presentation was live-streamed on the Albuquerque Historical Society’s Facebook Page.
