HFC Interpretive Media Institute

This course was a great overview of the whole process, yet included nitty-gritty details. Really glad you included the graphic identity session. All the handouts are wonderful. The information on evaluation was really good – it had never occurred to me to do evaluation all through the process rather than just at the end.

Harpers Ferry Center established the Interpretive Media Institute in December 1999 to expand the media capacity of the National Park Service by providing parks and partners with media knowledge, standards, and professional learning opportunities. This service is in addition to HFC’s traditional role of planning, designing, and producing media projects.

The Interpretive Media Institute provides a mechanism for leveraging the knowledge and experience of National Park Service media professionals to meet the comprehensive media needs of the Service. The Institute offers media training courses, workshops, details/internships, consultation, and white papers on a variety of subjects related to park interpretive media.

IMI staff are leaders in a new effort to develop media systems designed for self-help implementation by parks.
