Accessing VHA during COVID-19
For members of the NYU community, all testimonies from the Visual History Archive (VHA) are available online.
Users who are not currently affiliated with NYU should have access to
some testimonies that are available through the public-facing
VHA Online website. Unfortunately, it's not possible for us to make all testimonies available for remote access to members of the public.
The USC Shoah Foundation, which owns the rights and permissions for the archive, provides copies to interviewees and family members. Users who are not affiliated with NYU may contact the Foundation directly to ask if that service is currently available:
