The Archive

Each narrator, event, or donated item has their own title. For the sakhis, each one is associated with the name of the narrator and by what we have available for them based on their privacy boundaries (“A” for audio and/or “T” for transcript file). The “metadata” files in each folder include some additional information about the interview experience (name, date, interviewee background information).

The “Live Search” bar, at the moment, is only able to search the archive based on a file title. For example, you could type in “audio” and all audio files that we have permission to share in the archive will show up. This is because we have labeled all audio files with “audio” in their title (type “transcript” for only transcripts and “picture” for all pictures). The search bar is not (yet!) able to search within the files, such as identify all files that have the word “nitnem” in them, or search the metadata to find all the interviews from dominant backgrounds. In future updates, we hope to continue making the archive more accessible for community members, learners, educators, and researchers.
