Al and David Eicher, have for the past
fourteen
years produced 25 Michigan visual history documentaries. Their efforts in
preserving town histories and events in Michigan have
led to the creation of a lecture series.
They have designed these
lectures, including multimedia displays, for Colleges,
Historical Societies, Libraries, Church
Groups and Museums. Thirteen
are currently offered: "Michigan in the Civil War", "The Early Days of Radio in Michigan", "When Mark Twain Came to
Michigan", "The Orphan Train in Michigan”, "Michigan's Lumbering Days", “Michigan's Largest Commercial Fishery”,
"History of Music Boxes in Michigan", "The Indian History of Southeastern
Michigan",
"Ballooning, Blimps and the Great Airships”, and the "History of Music
Boxes in Michigan". Our new Travel series features "History & Legends of
Russia & the Volga River", "History & Legends Along the European
Waterways: Amsterdam to Vienna", "History & Legends of Greece & Turkey" and "Traveling
the Inside Passage to Alaska".
Lectures have
been given at various campuses of Kellogg Community College, the Historical
Society of Michigan, Rochester Hills Public Library, Lapeer County Historical
Society, Saginaw Valley State University, Monroe Library System, Wixom
Historical Society, Troy Museum, The Washtenaw County Museum Consortium, Kirk of
the Hills, Birmingham Senior Men's Club, Historical Society of Indiana,
Southeastern Michigan MENSA, the Farmington Hills Historical Society and
the Oakland County Pioneer Society.
 Our lectures and visual presentations are divided into 5 or 6 chapters. Printed
handouts address key points, display boards around the room have 100 or more
historic photos about the topic. Historic objects and documents are also on
display. The visual segments originate from an interactive DVD, which is shown
on a video projection system or large screen television.
We've prepared a 2 minute "Lecture Tour" sample showing at various locations.
