Abstract

In Chapter 6 González-Tennant discusses ongoing experimentation with new media technology to make historical research accessible to a wider public. The mixed-methods approach González-Tennant describes in earlier chapters continues through a discussion of the ways digital technologies are changing public outreach. González-Tennant describes the use of virtual-world environments, digital storytelling, and the Internet to translate academic research into public knowledge. The use of these emerging technologies is framed within a collaborative practice, and their use in Rosewood demonstrates how such approaches facilitate new engagements between archaeologists and stakeholders. The use of these technologies occurred in response to engagement with survivors, descendants, and their advocates. It has also produced engagements with property owners in Rosewood and other interested members of the public in Levy County and beyond.
