You now have access to a new tool for sharing your scholarly audiovisual (AV) materials online!

We recently launched Aviary at JMU, an online repository that will host:

Scholarly AV materials produced and submitted by JMU faculty and staff

Archival AV materials in the JMU Libraries’ special collections, such as the 1994 Furious Flower Poetry Center Conference videos, part of the Furious Flower archival collection

Coming soon: Aviary will soon be the home for recordings of musical performances by graduate students in the School of Music, oral histories collected by JMU Libraries, and more!

Learn more: Visit Aviary, see our Aviary at JMU guide, and stay tuned for more information in the fall!
