Every organization started somewhere. No
matter what type of group you belong to, chances are it
could benefit from a history video! Groups as varied as
colleges, Historical Societies, churches, Rotary Club,
Kiwanis, and nonprofits have worked with Timeless DVD to
tell the story of the origins and developments over the
years. An organization's history can be quite compelling
when told as a digital story.
A history slide show can educate your members – or
even recruit new ones. Do
they know how the organization began? Important local people
who belonged, but are long gone? Accomplishments made over
time? These kinds of DVD presentations can help evoke strong
feelings of kinship within your group, as your audience
gains a better knowledge of "where they came
from."
When we know our history, it puts us in tune with our
present. After a history video is presented, we
often hear the organization's members saying they feel
so much more connected with the past. Imagine passing this
feeling down to future incarnations of your group!
History videos can be a terrific fundraiser
as well, especially for historical societies. Put all those
photos and valuable materials to use, and entertain local
residents as well! Many folks are very interested in viewing
old photos of their town and area, especially when it is
presented in an eye-catching, moving slideshow. That you
can sell the videos to support the organization is just
an added benefit.
And while you're focusing on photos and slideshows, don't
forget to transfer tapes to DVD of any important historical
videos your organization possesses. |
