I’m currently researching the USC Shoah Foundation’s Visual History Archive, a collection of over 50,000 video interviews with survivors and other witnesses to the Holocaust. Rutgers is one of several dozen institutions worldwide that have online access to the full collection. I’m examining different ways that these interviews both facilitate and shape the ways that survivors tell their life stories, especially the impact of video as a medium for documenting these recollections. In addition, I’m looking at how the archive’s use of digital technology to index and facilitate access to its videos informs how this collection can serve as a resource for understanding memory practices in the digital age generally.
