We recommend that you create a personal username and password to login to the VHA after you connect via Criss Library's institutional account. This free registration establishes a personal account with which you can associate a collection of videos.
The mechanical aspects of searching the VHA are relatively simple and self-explanatory, but to search the database to full advantage, we advise that you at least browse through the User Manual.
The catalogers and editors of the VHA have created a Thesaurus of indexing terms which may prove helpful in identifying words and phrases to use for searching.
You may also find it helpful to examine or make a copy of the Survivor Pre-Interview Questionnaire. This document provides a roadmap to a typical interview, and it may serve to help you organize your notes and thoughts about what you see and hear.
