V2_ is proud to present its new, publicly accessible archive portal. The portal was created for research purposes and offers an experimental interface to V2_'s archive database. It is a work in progress; design and content will be enhanced and improved.

<http://archive.v2.nl/>

This archive portal contains information about V2_'s activities from 1993 till present. V2_'s archive team collects documentation about all people, organizations, artworks and events that have played a role in V2_'s history; this includes a collection of about 15,000 photographs and a growing number of digitalized video fragments, in addition to a large number of texts, images and links.

The new archive portal was built in continuation of the website for the DEAF03 festival <http://deaf.v2.nl/>, which already offered a 'sneak peek' at V2_'s archive content.

We hope this website will be useful for educational and research purposes and as a source of information for the electronic art community at large. Reactions and feedback can be sent to V2_'s archive team: <archive@v2.nl>.
