About Us

A number of people have worked on the Informedia back-end processing, web services, and the front-end Adobe Flex application for IDVL. This page presents a partial list. The goal of current NSF funding is to share Informedia processing capabilities and interfaces especially suitable for video oral history collections as open source, for the benefit of other video collection holders and users. The work was presented at the annual Oral History Association (OHA) meetings in 2008 and 2010.
