The first DVD-Rom was created in 2001 by Documentary
Arts, Inc. to supplement the Biographical
Dictionary and to act as an interactive learning tool
for the Masters of Traditional Arts Teaching Guide. The second version was released in 2007 with a larger interface and added materials.
The DVD-Rom is a comprehensive encyclopedia
of the 316 winners of the National Endowment for the Arts'
National Heritage Award from the first 25 years after its enactment. It includes the same biographies
and photographs of every winner as can be found in the Biographical
Dictionary, but then goes far beyond, including many aditional
photographs and hours and hours of audio and video content.
The 316 artists are searchable by name,
state, year, traditional art form, or ethnicity. They can also be explored randomly or through a visual search.
The most comprehensive collection of information
about the winners of the award, this DVD-Rom was years in
production, much of the time gathering, processing and organizing
the tremendous amount of content it contains.
