Constructing our exhibit!

Here are some photos from when Kara and I had met together at her apartment to put together our exhibit. Our exhibit was particularly large, so when we had first put it together and gave it a dry run before actually implementing it we found ourselves a little nervous on whether or not it would fit in Hibbard Hall. Luckily our exhibit fit just perfectly on implementation day! Take a look at the photos! Thanks! (Please excuse the photo quality, they were taken from my cell-phone)

Our Implementation Day:

Here are several photos from our exhibit, including one that the history department took and put up on their Facebook page! I think the exhibit was a great success and we were both very happy with the results :)

Some of the Christmas Carols Sung during the Truce

Here are a couple youtube links that are some of the Christmas carols sung during the truce. I thought that maybe having these carols playing on a loop while we implement our exhibit might be a cool way to help create a holiday spirited ambiance of our exhibit. After all, we're trying to create a interactive environment for our visitors and I thought that perhaps having these songs play (at an appropriate volume of course) would allow for a little more interactive environment for our visitors. Go ahead and check them out!

Videos to implement with our exhibit proposal.

Here I have included two links to videos we plan to use in our exhibit proposal. These videos are for an English grocery company called Sanisbury, but they help highlight and re-enact the events of the Christmas Truce of 1914. The first link is the re-enactment of the events, and the second video is a video that goes behind the scenes of how the commercial/video was created and provides some testimony of family members that had loved ones experience the Christmas Truce of 1914.
