Abstract
The paper presents the USC Shoah Foundation Institute Visual History Archive, which is a unique collection of almost 52 000 testimonies of the Holocaust survivors and witnesses, recorded in 56 countries and 32 languages during the late 90's (over 1 000 interviews in Czech and Slovak language). Prague is one of the three European access points to the on-line licensed archive content, connected by the high-speed Internet 2 from the Malach Visual History Centre at the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics of the Charles University.
In the first part the paper presents the Foundation history and possible forms of practical usage of the archival content in science and education. The second half of the paper is focused on the online search facilities, which help users identify relevant interviews and segments (People Search, Biographical Search, Keywords Search).
