The Ethno musicological Video for Instruction and Analysis Digital Archive project (EVIAhttp://www.indiana.edu/~eviada) is a joint effort of Indiana University and the University of Michigan to establish a digital archive of ethno musicological video for use by scholars and instructors.Currently funded for a total of $1.4 million by the combined contributions of Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, Indiana University, and the University of Michigan, the archive is being designed by experts in the fields of ethnomusicology, archiving, video, intellectual property, and digital technology.Ultimately, the EVIA Digital Archive intends to preserve video recordings and make them easily accessible for teaching and research, providing an alternative to physical archiveswhose unique materials are available only to people who travel to the archive location.[via H-MUSEUM]
