Descriptions

Brief DescriptionACMI's Memory and Place Collection comprises the finished work of MAP (later called ACMI in the Regions) projects designed to allow diverse communities across Victoria to represent themselves and capture untapped resources from Victoria's rich media history. The 600 short films are mostly available on DVD and date back to when the project began in 2002. Similar to Digital Storytelling, this is an ongoing program so the collection will continue to expand.
