Project Jukebox

Project Jukebox Overview

The basic framework for each Project Jukebox program is the same, although each has its own personal variations based upon who worked on the project and their intended audiences. Each Jukebox has a variety of materials, from interviews to transcripts, maps, photos, or a searchable topic list. Each Jukebox program includes navigation instructions as you go along or it is self-explanatory with arrows and buttons.

A media player is necessary to play the mp3 audio files of these on-line programs. If you experience problems, please check our Help page or Contact us.
Each project begins with a home page explaining the background information about the project and description of the historical / cultural material included in the Jukebox Project. image of a Jukebox page Each Jukebox has a central page, often referred to as the "Main Menu", with photos of the participants and buttons for access to other material, such as maps, slideshows, or a topics list.
