Student Jametta Davis working the camera in the Documentary Video Institute.

“The Center for Documentary Studies is unlike any other program out there. It is not a place that simply teaches you how to hold a camera and print an image, but a place that asks you to consider what you are photographing and who the work is for.”

“I thought I would like this course but actually I loved it! I haven’t felt that level of passion for anything in a long time. I have learned so much. The comments/discussion with other students was fantastic—everybody had such good ideas. The presentations on the last day were amazing

course alone.”

“All documentary work is local.”—Tom Rankin, director of the Center for Documentary Studies

The best way to get involved at the Center for Documentary Studies is to support the documentary arts. This is easy to do, by making a contribution through Friends of CDS. Through their contribu-tions, Friends of CDS help to support the Center for Documentary Studies, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organi-zation affiliated with Duke University. Because the founders of the Center for Documentary Studies envi-sioned an organization that would bridge campus and community life, CDS was established as neither an academic department nor a traditional university edu-cational center. Rather, CDS functions as an indepen-dent not-for-profit organization, with its own budget and fundraising goals.

TWO WAYS TO GIVE: You may make a secure on-line donation at http://cds.aas.duke.edu/donate OR you may send a check payable to “Center for Documentary Studies” at Friends of CDS, 1317 W. Pettigrew Street, Durham, NC 27705

For More Information: Contact Lynn McKnight, Associate Director for Programs and Communications, Center for Documentary Studies at Duke University: 919-660-3663 or [email protected]

documentary work that balances community goals with indi-

vidual artistic expression. CDS promotes documentary work that

cultivates progressive change by amplifying voices, advancing

human dignity, engendering respect among individuals, break-

ing down barriers to understanding, and illuminating social

injustices. CDS conducts its work for local, regional, national,

and international audiences.
