Case Study: The National WWII Museum drills down into video history with NetX DAM

The National WWII Museum manages 5,000+ oral histories with NetX

The National WWII Museum, which holds an extensive digital collection including thousands of video oral histories, faced a significant challenge. Users searching for content were served hours of footage, making it difficult to find specific moments of interest. To solve this, the museum sought a solution from vendor NetX that could precisely target content within these lengthy videos without creating massive new storage demands.

NetX implemented its Digital Asset Management platform, featuring a Video Clip tool. This solution allowed the museum to annotate interviews and attach metadata to specific time codes, enabling users to instantly jump to relevant segments. The tool creates new video clip files only upon download, preventing storage bloat. As a result, NetX became the system of record, seamlessly syncing with the museum's collections management system to ensure accurate, accessible, and highly searchable assets for both on-site visitors and online researchers.
