Description
With a current collection of more than 54,000 eyewitness testimonies, the Visual History Archive is the largest digital collection of its kind in the world. It preserves history as told by the people who lived it. Each testimony is a unique source of insight and knowledge, offering powerful stories from history that demand to be explored and shared. In this way we will be able to see their faces and hear their voices, allowing each of them to teach and inspire action against intolerance.
To ensure the testimonies stored in the Visual History Archive are accessible worldwide, every testimony is digitized and fully searchable to the minute via indexing. This means a scholar, researcher, or student can instantly access the exact point within the 114,000 hours of testimony in the Archive that matches their query. This is made possible by the use of more than 64,000 keywords that have been assigned directly to digital time codes within testimonies where the specific topics are discussed.
