The Digital Archive of the Batak

Batak lake

Research conducted by Dr Dario Novellino.

More than 50 hours of ethnographic videos have been digitized from the
original DV tapes and stored in separate hard disks. I decided to select key
ethnographic topics and edit some the best footage in my possession to describe
such topics.

In addition to this, introductory scripts have been prepared in
relation to each topic, describing the overall content of the films. When possible,
the edited films are provided with a link to a scientific article, for those who are
interested in gaining a deep understanding of the ethnographic material at stake.
A first scrutiny of the 50 hours of digitalized videos has resulted in the editing of
12 ethnographic mini-films.
