A Web site billing itself as a "multimedia museum exhibit," Voices of the Colorado Plateau gathers together twenty-two oral histories from eight historical institutions in the Four Corners region. The interviewees run the gamut from Anglo schoolteachers to Hopi fire fighters to urban administrators to lumberjacks to whitewater adventurers. The western landscape, the site's designers imply, is the commonality that unites this diverse group. The site's graphics (sandstone cliffs basking in the soft morning light) and ambient sounds (a trickle of river water) drive the point home. The Colorado Plateau, a region shaped by the action of the Colorado River, gives the voices collected in the exhibit their coherence and significance. |
