The American Image – Shooting Script Interactive

Posted on 28 December 2009 | Comments Off

The American Image is an online exhibit exploring John Collier Jr.’s work during the war years of the 1940’s. The photographs depict day-to-day life in America during World War II. The site serves two purposes. First, it brings the wonderful photographs of John Collier Jr. to a new audience. Secondly, a series of activities guide users through an in-depth examination of visual media. The project was funded with a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities.

In 2008, the site won the Museums and Web Conference Award for the Best Online Exhibition.
