Presentation to the conference Creole Legacies, Current Status and Future Prospects of Creole Studies Research, October 23-25 in New Orleans, Louisiana, sponsored by the Creole Heritage Center.
A number of DVD+Internet projects involving Creole and Zydeco musicians are underway in the School of Music at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette.
DVD is a rapidly developing technology used on a variety of platforms. The aim of this project is to make productions usable by a range of systems, to speed development time, and to archive material in a form that will be accessible in the future. http://ull.edu/rkw3943/dvd
