About the Project
Children’s Media Digitization Project is an effort to preserve student work created in the media programs at Capital Children’s Museum in Washington, D.C.
Former director of Media Arts at CCM, Christopher Grotke is digitizing old videotaped work and uploading files to the Internet Archive. It’s a labor of love, done in free time, to save some great animation and video projects spanning the mid 1980’s through the early 2000’s.
