The full Visual History Archive (VHA) is available at access sites throughout the world.
About ten percent of the VHA is available on public internet, however,
the metadata for all of the testimony in the archive can be accessed from anywhere at any time.
If you are unable to visit an access site, we are happy to provide you with an Online Viewing Copy of testimony.
Please be advised that the licensing process can take up to eight weeks to complete.
We cannot send downloadable copies of testimony before a license is in place.
If you have questions about the licensing process, or if you have an urgent request, please email
sfiaccess@usc.edu.
