Hi all,

 

I’m looking into ways to make accessible various media we have in museum but which aren’t necessarily on display, e.g. oral history archives or locally-made films.

 

There are a couple of threads on this in the MCG archives but they’re a few years old, so I thought it would be worthwhile to see if tech has moved on. Specifically, I would be grateful for advice from anyone on an unsupervised, public interface that will allow visitors to select and watch/listen to video or audio clips.

 

I’ve got a few solutions in mind but sustainability and ongoing maintenance are potential problems.

 

Kind regards,

 

Tim Savage
