Montana Mosaic: 20th-Century People and Events includes twelve fifteen-to-twenty-minute episodes that use historical photographs, original footage, and interviews to explore important episodes of Montana's twentieth-century history. The unique stories told in Montana Mosaic reveal Montana's connections to both national and international trends. Each episode touches on one or more of the following broad themes: industrialization and deindustrialization, relocation and dislocation, ethnic migration, federalization, environmentalism, and progressivism. A user guide has been created for each episode.
The videos are available on YouTube.
