Ethnographic Video Online of Alexander Street Press provides the largest, most comprehensive resource for the study of human culture and behavior – more than 750 hours and 1,000 films at completion. The collection covers every region of the world and features the work of many of the most influential documentary filmmakers of the 20th century, including interviews, previously unreleased raw footage, field notes, study guides, and more.
Ethnographic Videos Online is always adding to their vast collection, so check back from time to time. You can find them by clicking on the Search Databases link under Research on the American University Library homepage. The Ethnographic Videos Online link will take you to their homepage where you can do searches, browse titles, and watch videos right on their site. The only catch is that the library bought a subscription, so if you’re not in the library, you will be asked to authenticate, to prove that you’re a current AU student.
