WE’VE REACHED OUR GOAL!

Access:

We encourage universities, museums, and other institutions around the world to make the Visual History Archive available, so that many more people can conduct research in the database and view testimony. Find an access site near you.

Research:

We push the limits of research, demonstrating the value of audio-visual testimony across a broad range of academic disciplines, to further knowledge and deepen understanding. Find resources.

Teacher Education:

We train teachers and develop their media literacy skills, so that they use testimony more effectively in the classroom and give opportunity for young people to learn. Explore our Living Histories lesson series. Learn more about the Institute's international outreach.

New Collections:

We are collecting the life stories of witnesses to genocide around the world, to give their experiences a voice, and to make their testimonies available for research and education. Read about our agreement with the Armenian Film Foundation.
