About Peoples Archive
Peoples Archive launched in May 2004 (www.peoplesarchive.com), is an online video on-demand archive dedicated to collecting for posterity the life stories of the greatest thinkers, creators and achievers of our time. All contributors are given an unlimited amount of time to tell their life story in their own words, with minimum intervention by the 'listener', generally a colleague with a thorough knowledge of their life and work. High-quality footage is shot on location in digital video format with subsequent editing being kept to a minimum. The interviews are then broken down into individual stories, which are indexed and placed on the Peoples Archive website via the Internet, enabled by Apple QuickTime.
