Through articles, curriculum materials, veteran and Holocaust survivor profiles, and artifact spotlights, the content vertical on the Museum’s website reaches millions of readers each year. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6005e0324616fd2204d9d7a0/1613446978135-6WWCDG4L06RPBHTR2G3G/Picketers+Carrying+Anti-Jim+Crow+Signs+1946.+Harry+S.+Truman+Library+2013-3715+%281%29.jpg Portfolio - Digital Storytelling - Podcast Series To commemorate the 75th anniversary of the end of World War II, I developed “To the Best of My Ability,” a documentary-style podcast series focusing on Truman’s presidency and the final months of the war. The second season, The Postwar Years, delves into the Cold War and McCarthyism, the Civil Rights Movement and the rise in homegrown white nationalism, the creation of Israel, and the war crimes trials at Nuremberg and Tokyo. https://www.gemmabirnbaum.com/portfolio/curriculum-development monthly 0.5 2021-02-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6005e0324616fd2204d9d7a0/1613443924570-R5QFWFUW70HN2IZ5AW9Z/_Q9A7256.jpg Portfolio - Curriculum Development https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6005e0324616fd2204d9d7a0/1613442063672-GOQPJP924QQ7YFAMEL3B/education-primary-source-closeup-footlocker.jpg Portfolio - Curriculum Development https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6005e0324616fd2204d9d7a0/1613442172281-ZBBIXK6FBW7R8K63XW03/image-asset.jpeg Portfolio - Curriculum Development https://www.gemmabirnbaum.com/portfolio/community-engagement monthly 0.5 2021-02-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6005e0324616fd2204d9d7a0/1613497486768-L1K256TYEUTMFGP55UWH/_D4A9619.jpg Portfolio - Community Engagement - Youth and Families One of the challenges in working at a museum dedicated to telling the story of war has been making programs and content that are accessible to younger audiences. Through summer camps, a youth volunteer corps, the annual family block party, and hands-on family workshops, we have been able to bring the stories of World War II to children of all ages and their families, including the development of a hands-on STEM Innovation Gallery on campus. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6005e0324616fd2204d9d7a0/1613496880288-SK8Y34CTTBUOWW8DIU1R/image-asset.jpeg Portfolio - Community Engagement - Community Engagement Our team has developed partnerships and programs locally with the New Orleans Public Library, the local VFW, churches and synagogues, and more to offer free or reduced admission and social impact programs designed to help distribute curriculum materials, scarves, and other museum services to students, teachers, and veterans in the greater New Orleans area. Select programs including the Knit Your Bit scarf campaign have been expanded nationally through partnerships with like-minded institutions. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6005e0324616fd2204d9d7a0/1613496410573-XZ9Z8SIHS6142MYJBUMR/image-asset.jpeg Portfolio - Community Engagement - Public Programs A continual and creative offering of public programs, including film screenings, lectures and panel discussions, guided docent tours, and more bring in local audiences that may be less inclined to routinely visit. New content drives local visitation and interest, and offers visitors a free or low cost way to provide access to The National WWII Museum’s collections and exhibits, content, staff experts, and special guests.
