ARA Video Library
The online video library includes a rich collection of audiovisual resources covering research and education in all disciplines and knowledge areas of the human and social sciences.
In addition to the scientific and educational resources (courses, conferences, seminars, etc.), the video library also includes documentaries, special reports, photos and recordings of socially significant events (social practices, traditions and crafts, artistic exhibitions and performances, and others).
The video library currently has
2585 hours of videos and is constantly growing thanks to the intellectual, financial, and logistical support from ARA’s many friends and partners.
Once users are in ARA’s video library, they have several ways of finding the content they need:
1. by scientific discipline (or sub-discipline)
2. by publication genre (interview, conference, special report, etc.)
3. by video language (French, English, Spanish, German, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Bulgarian, Turkish, Russian, Turkish, Chinese, and some rare languages)
4. by author/contributor
5. multi-criteria and multilingual search engine
The video library’s
