Indivisible offers a range of resources so you can continue to explore and participate in civic life. These resources invite you to make connections and to exchange ideas about creating stronger communities across America. To follow up on issues or community groups encountered in Indivisible, check the Bulletin Board, Links, and Bibliography sections. The Bulletin Board area is a forum for reading and posting your own stories of community life and for responding to ideas and comments contributed by other visitors to the Indivisible Web site.






Putting Documentary Work to Work is a step-by-step guide designed to help community organizations develop and conduct their own documentary projects using a camera and tape recorder. This booklet outlines the basic principles of developing projects, writing budgets, making photographs, and conducting interviews and provides creative ideas about how the results of documentary work can be put into action. Putting Documentary Work to Work also shows, through real-life examples, how documentary work at the local level can provoke important community discussion and lead to collaborative problem solving.

The Indivisible Educator's Guide is being distributed to K-12 teachers through museum venues and through the Indivisible Web site. This resource enables teachers to integrate the exhibition's photographs and interviews into their own curricula in conjunction with a visit to the museum gallery. The guide focuses on the power of images and personal narrative to reveal aspects of identity, community, and civic action. It also includes an overview of each of the project communities, as well as background on documenting local communities through oral history interviews and photographs. A selection of slides from the exhibition and an audio cd of excerpted project interviews accompanies lessons for analyzing the form and content of Indivisible images and dialogue.

Archived collections of Indivisible photographs, interview tapes, transcripts, correspondence, and other project materials will be housed at both Duke University and the University of Arizona, providing public access to an unusually large body of work documenting a cross section of modern America. The historical value of the collection, given its grounding in a cultural perspective and the inclusion of a range of issues, places, and demographics, provides a rich record for researchers and others interested in the diversity and complexity of American civic life. Each of the twelve communities will also receive a set of photographs and interview tapes from the documentation of their initiatives.
