Under the guidance of leading scholars and historians the Survivors of the Shoah Visual History Foundation has videotaped the testimonies of Holocaust survivors worldwide in 29 languages. Using state-of-the-art technology a unique indexing system was created to facilitate access to the place names, personal names, events, experiences and other topics in the nearly 50,000 interviews conducted thus far. As studies in indexing multi-media content move forward, the Foundation hopes to create a research center for advancing indexing in the area of digital asset management. This article provides an introduction to the Foundation's unique indexing methodology which has been developed to enable the delivery of survivors' oral testimonies.

WRitings on the subject of back-of-the-book indexing in the late nineteenth century leave one with the distinct impression that indexes at the backs of books were something of a rarity at that time. This article suggests that writers on the subject may have actually been appropriating a technology that had by that point in time become fairly standard.
