We expect the entry of technology into the abbey to be a main point of both contention as it may impact the daily lives of the monks and disrupt the original interpretation of the Rule of St. Benedict. We will also be expanding upon the work that was done by outside researchers in past years, examining how the community may have changed, how its members have evolved since they were last interviewed, and what struggles or successes the abbey has experienced. We want to pursue the project with hopes of educating the outside community about the inner workings of the monastery, as well as how the members live their daily lives of contemplative prayer. The abbey has extensive documentation and we want to preserve it in an accessible and digitized fashion through a coherent timeline. We hope that people can learn about the history of this 76 year old monastery, whether they are newer members of the monastery, students at the college, or outside community members. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Tools:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: left\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Scanners: scan documents in both the Abbey\u2019s archive and Milne Library\u2019s archive<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Still camera: website photographs <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Video camera: interviews of members and site itself<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">iMovie: edit the interviews and organize them by topic<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">YouTube: upload interviews and site videos<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">GoogleDocs: prepare and edit interview questions\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Zoom: share project updates with peers and professors<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Slack: get support from the professors, Leah, and other classmates who have insight on an issue<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">TimelineJS: record the history of the monastery since 1953\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Division of Labor:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Whereas Cody is comfortable focusing on internal communication with the monks, Dana is interested in looking at the technical\/digital side of the project. For instance, Dana can record interviews while Cody asks the questions. On a day that one of us cannot go to the monastery, one of us can stay on campus and look through the archives for more research to scan and catalogue. Dana is comfortable using iMovie and WordPress to complete the project and Cody is willing to collect materials for the Timeline feature on our website.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Milestones:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: left\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Friday, September 29<\/span>: Met with Father Isaac at the monastery at 1:30PM.
