Summary:
Victor "Vic" Megenity was interviewed by Andrew Wayne as part of the Floyd County Bicentennial Oral History Project, which commemorates Indiana's bicentennial by recording the past and present experiences of New Albany and Floyd County residents. During the interview, Vic Megenity covers a number of topics, including his thoughts on New Albany, including its history; his parents and grandparents; what his life was like growing up; historical items he's collected; his time as a middle school history teacher, including a time capsule project he had his class do in 1976; and his friend Katheryn Hickerson and how they helped save the Division Street School, an historic school building in New Albany.
Professor Victoria Garcia Wilburn and Dr. Devon Hensel along with their community partner, Rachelle Gardner, briefly discuss their translational research project that deals with understanding teenagers' cravings and triggers while attending a recovery high school.
The Victorian Women Writers Project started at Indiana University in 1995, under the leadership of Perry Willett, and had as its stated goal "to produce highly accurate transcriptions of works by British women writers of the 19th century." In 2007, encouraged by interest among the English department's faculty and graduate students, the Libraries and the English Department began exploring how to best reinvigorate this project, and over the summer of 2009 work has begun to upgrade the current contents of the VWWP and to add new texts. Currently plans are underway to involve English graduate student in the encoding process. This brown-bag conversation will share the changes to date and look ahead to the plans we are making to incorporate the VWWP in English graduate courses thereby establishing an ongoing dedication to this scholarly encoding project.

Summary:
Reports on the coordination of community volunteers for wartime farm harvesting labor through the efforts of the Victory Farm Volunteers of the U.S. Crop Corps and local agricultural agents. "The story of the farm labor shortage caused by the war, and how it was met during the crop season of 1944 through the vigorous and patriotic efforts of several million volunteers from our towns and cities. It shows the county agent in a typical agricultural county, marshalling its forces to recruit help needed to harvest the local potato crop. Similarly, workers were recruited all over the country to help with fruit, grain, cotton, sugar beets, hay, truck, and other crops. With the patriotic help of these volunteers, farmers, in spite of war handicaps were able to produce the largest crops in history" (Motion Pictures of the United States Department of Agriculture, 1945, 19). In an epilogue, Judge Marvin Jones, War Food Administrator, emphasizes that manpower shortage on farms is still a problem.

The Vietnam War: Stories from All Sides began as an oral history project telling stories from American & Vietnamese veterans, refugees and others impacted by the war. Ron Osgood initiated the project through an Institute for Digital Arts & Humanities (IDAH) Fellowship and a New Frontiers Grant. Over the past 10 years, more than 150 oral history interviews have been recorded, a prototype website for educational use created and a documentary film produced.
Currently, Osgood is working with Jon Cameron to upload the 150 oral history interviews to the IU Libraries’ Media Collections Online service. In addition to providing long-term preservation for the media and an institutionally owned platform for hosting, website embeds are also being migrated from YouTube to Media Collections Online.

What it means to live in a contemporary Japanese village is shown through film shot especially for this series in Nijike, 430 miles from Tokyo. A housewife appears in the film sequences, but the voice heard in the narration is that of Miss Kimie Tojo, daughter of the late Premier Tojo. Professor Ward, host for the program, points out that the village has often been considered the backbone of traditional Japan. His guest, Richard K. Beardsley, Professor of Anthropology at the University of Michigan, concurs. It is the land, (Professor Beardsley says), the importance of working the land, of keeping it going, of keeping it in the family, that strongly enforces traditional ways in Japanese villages. These traditional ways stress cooperation on a family and on a community level, and the subordination of each person to the collective good. Holding and working the land is a way of life, not a business. Yet the modern world has made its impression on village life. A century ago the village had little connection with the outside world. Now, as a result of central government supervision, police and military conscription, economic changes brought about when the villagers began to raise crops for outside sale, a national system of schools, and the introduction of electricity and radios, this insular picture has altered. But because of the basic social conditions and the primary concern for working the land, changes occur slowly. In their own villages, younger men are gaining control because they understand machinery and marketing best. A real social transformation is taking place, but quietly, without violence, without setting life off balance. The families scrape a living from two acres of land and stay, for the most part, buried within the household and the community. They find satisfaction from living collectively. Their way of life has for generations fitted their nature and their circumstances; yet it seems flexible enough to make room for the new.
