SAVAIL is a multidisciplinary technical lab that enables folklorists, ethnomusicologists, anthropologists and musicologists to analyze sound and movement as well as produce documentary materials for the presentation of research and the creation of examples for classroom use. Established in 1995 with funds from the Office of Information Technologies and RUGS, SAVAIL is a facility where scholars apply computer aided analysis to larger questions of aesthetics, social process and individual virtuosity. The facility has enabled scholars to document, analyze, and disseminate research of a culturally diverse nature using technologies for analyzing and producing audio, video, and still imagery. The laboratory consists of 6 computer workstations, each with special capabilities. Individuals interested in working at SAVAIL should call 856-7282 or email savail@indiana.edu. In 2003, SAVAIL became a partner in the EVIA Digital Archive project, providing facilities and personnel support to this joint project of Indiana University and the University of Michigan. Funded by the Andrew W. Mellon foundation, the project will create digital preservation and access solutions for ethnomusicological field video. For more information, see www.indiana.edu/~eviada. SAVAIL is located on the first floor of the East Tower in the Wells Library. The door is on your right, before entering the east tower commons. Last updated
