A-V Barn: Search Page

The innovative aspect of the site lies in the subject indexing that was done for the interviews. Each interview is divided in many shorter clips. Each clip is summarized and tagged with keywords. These keywords are then available in a faceted search page, with facets for: People, Plants, Land, Animals, Dates, and Places. This method allows the researcher to rapidly filter down specific portions of the interviews, and then hear or see that portion of the interview.
