Archive information and configuration
How do I customize my archive and archive information after creation?
(english subtitles)
Tutorial videos “Edit Archive Information,” “Configure Archive,” and “Customize Archive Appearance” (english subtitles): These videos explain the features of the cataloging view of the “Oral-History.Digital” interview portal for archive owners. Concept and implementation: Philipp Bayerschmidt and Jan Neflin, 2026.
Once your archive has been created, you can change various settings for your archive (if you have activated the editorial view) under the menu item Archive configuration on the right-hand side:
- Under 'Edit archive information', you can specify the basic information about your archive for all language versions available in the system.
- Under 'Configure Archive', you can specify various basic settings for your archive, such as the available languages, the accessibility of the interviews, or a contact email address.
- Under 'Edit Display Options', you can change the appearance of your archive (colors, logo, etc.).
If you want to change a setting in your archive that you cannot find here, please contact an OHD employee by email or phone.
