EVIA Digital Archive
The Indiana University Digital Library Program
The Ethnomusicological Video for Instruction and Analysis (EVIA) Digital Archive is a joint effort of Indiana University and the University of Michigan to establish a
digital archive of video recordings shot in the field by ethnomusicologists around the world.
Ultimately, the EVIA Digital Archive intends both to preserve these video recordings and to make them easily accessible for teaching and research, using the bandwidth
capabilities of Internet2 to provide high quality video streams to scholars for new research endeavors and to teachers for creating rich learning experiences. Videos are
captured at high quality (50 Mbps MPEG-2) and then annotated by ethnomusicologists in collaboration with librarians, to allow users to search for and understand the
context of the content.
The project is supported in part by funding from the Andrew W. Mellon foundation, and involves ethnomusicologists, technologists, librarians, archivists, and intellectual
property experts from both IU and the University of Michigan.
