The Audio-Visual Materials series (1.5 linear feet and 5.73 MB) consists of cassettes, contents of 3-1/2 inch floppy disks, photographs, slides, and scrapbooks documenting Project Community's service projects. The Cassette Tapes, 1994-2000, sub-series consists of oral histories from former Project Community leaders such as Jeff Howard, Dick Sleet, Thomas Moorehead, and Joan Scott. The Floppy Disks, 1980-2001, is a collection of eight 3-1/2 inch floppy disks containing assorted materials including course outlines, assignments, and budgets. The floppy disks have been transferred from the original media, converted into a digital repository, and are available online. The Photographs, 1970-2001 and Scrapbooks sub-series, 1964-2001, document Project Community's staff and various projects, including the Black Liberation School, Inmate Project, and Migrant Labor Camps. The scrapbooks include both photographs and news clippings documenting various project sites, accolades, and recognition for Project Community's effects on local communities. For preservation purposes, several scrapbooks were removed from their original setting. To preserve the original layout, a photocopy reference of the original arrangement was created and is included in the collection with the original images.
