OUR STORY
"Not long after earning a Certificate in
Digital Storytelling, Dr. Christina
Fisanick of California University of
Pennsylvania joined forces with Mr.
Robert Stakeley of the Heinz History
Center in Pittsburgh to help tell the
stories of northern Appalachia and its
people. Their collaboration with the
Cal U Honors Program and the Heinz
History Center Affiliates Program
(HCAP) has led to the creation of more
than 180 digital stories in seven
counties in western Pennsylvania,
eastern Ohio, and northern West
Virginia. More than 200 Cal U students
have worked with more than 70
historical societies and organizations
to put words and images together in
riveting, short videos that have been
shared across the nation and the
world. We believe that we must tell
our stories or they will be told for us.
