The Visual History Archive® is the Institute’s collection of audiovisual interviews with witnesses and survivors of the Holocaust and other genocides. The USC Shoah Foundation Visual History Archive contains more than 114,000 hours of testimony – the equivalent of a dozen years. And yet, using a search engine developed and patented by the Institute, students and researchers can pinpoint moments of interest down to the minute. This indexing capability makes use of over 64,000 keywords and phrases, 1.8 million names and over 710,000 images.
