Scope and Content of Collection
The Multi-Media Group Collection documents the history of Scripps Institution of Oceanography and UC San Diego, including:
aerials of campus, conferences, and workshops, interviews of scientists, expeditions and cruises, ships and scientific equipment,
and the Acoustic Thermometry of Ocean Climate (ATOC) project.
Many of the images in the collection were created for
Explorations magazine and video series, produced by the group under the direction of Charles Colgan who served as Managing Editor. In
addition, the collection also includes videos produced for UCSD-TV and the SIO website.
The bulk of the materials date from 1992-2007; although some of the material falls outside of the group's years of operation.
Arranged in two series: 1) MOVING IMAGES and 2) SLIDES AND TRANSPARENCIES.
Administrative History
The Multi-Media Group was established in the early 1990s as part of the SIO Communications Office; often working closely with
the SIO Photographic Laboratory who assisted in capturing images. The Multi-Media Group was responsible for the production
of public relations and educational materials, including
Explorations magazine and video series, as well as videos for UCSD-TV and the SIO website.
Director: Charles Colgan (around 1990-2007). The group ceased operation in July 2007.
