    AND THE TELLY AWARD GOES TO...
    NAPLES HISTORICAL SOCIETY AND ABG WORLD AUDIO & VIDEO PRODUCTION FOR
    "NAPLES ORAL HISTORIES:
    IF THESE WALLS COULD TALK"

     

     

     

    The Telly Award is the premier award honoring outstanding local, regional and cable TV commercials and programs, as well as the finest video and film productions, and web commercials, videos and films. It is a widely known and highly respected national and international competition and receives over 11,000 entries annually from all 50 states and many foreign countries.

     

    A 2008 partnership between ABG World, LLC and the Naples Historical Society led to a bountiful creation of dozens of professionally produced oral history films. The 24-minute project overview film that won this award is available for viewing at the Naples Historical Society's Cottage Theater - FREE for Members or $10 for admission. Individual feature films are shown year-round. See the Film Exhibit Schedule for more information.

     

    Featured Volunteer: Jim Evans

     

     

    Special Thanks! go to all of the volunteers who dedicate their time and talent to the Oral History project, including Jim Evans. Jim has become a crucial part of the Oral History production process. By devoting his time as a Production Coordinator, he makes sure things run smoothly on filming day. Because of volunteers like Jim, Naples Historical Society is able to continue interviewing Naples pioneer families for the community's enjoyment.

     

    If you would like to volunteer to help out with our Oral History Program, please contact Ellen Fischer at 239-261-8164.

    NEW Film Exhibit Schedule
    April - October, 2011

    Click Here to View Film Schedule

    ADDITIONAL ORAL HISTORY FILMS HAVE BEEN ADDED TO THE COLLECTION! Did you miss any feature films from the Naples Oral Histories opening collection? Now is your chance to view them over the summer and fall, along with some newly filmed/released interviews. Our new "Un-Cut and Un-Edited" films capture the entire interview. Visit Historic Palm CottageTM to see these newly released incredible oral history interviews in their raw form. Please see the Film Exhibit Schedule for details.

    Did you miss any of the 2011 Garden Side Chickee Chats? Featured speakers were: Vernon Peeples, a 5th generation Floridian currently living in Punta Gorda, Lila Zuck, a local author of Naples history, and J. William Meek, owner/director of the Harmon/Meek Gallery. All three presentations have been captured on film for your enjoyment, so now is your time to view them in our charming Cottage Theater. Remember, this is free for all members so become a member today!

    Featured Volunteer: Kathleen Slebodnik

    What would our oral history project be without our interviewers? Kathleen has dedicated much of her time over the last three years to our oral History program. As an "interviewer", she must not only be abundantly prepared to conduct an interview in front of the camera, but she must also conduct significant research through preliminary interviews as well. Kathleen is also a docent-guide for our walking tours of the Naples Historic District, a docent for the house-museum, and donates much time during our annual promotion, Christmas at Palm Cottage.

    Thank you Kathleen, for you dedication to our oral history program and for all you do at the Naples Historical Society.

    Are you interested in becoming a volunteer? Call our office today at 239-261-8164 or visit our website at http://www.napleshistoricalsociety.org/ for more information.
