Clio Visualizing History is an education organization founded in 1996 to meet the growing need for innovative history education projects in multiple media platforms. In 2002 Clio changed its corporate structure from a company that provided services and developed projects for clients, to a not-for-profit organization that focuses exclusively on its own American history educational projects.
Clio Mission
Clio is dedicated to developing innovative American history projects that are designed to engage students, to assist educators and researchers, and to appeal to a wide public audience through documentary films, the World Wide Web, and other new media.
Project Purpose
Clio Visualizing History seeks to illustrate the unique role visual images play in a rich and engaging sense of American history. Our photography exhibits reflect our interest in the still image as a key component in visual history; our documentary films relate to our belief in the power of moving images, and our digital archive uses the latest technology to capture both, as well as documents and other memorabilia from recent historical events and movements. Our aim is to present material that is useful to a wide audience of students, teachers, filmmakers, and both novice and professional historians.
