The value of audiovisual resources
Audiovisual resources complement textual research, similar to data and statistics. Audiovisual resources include moving images (films, newsreels, television programs, educational, and industrial and advertising material), commercial sound recordings, radio broadcasts, and voice recordings, as well as supporting documents, screenplays, manuscripts, photographs, posters, and press kits. Use these resources to gain a better understanding of Polynesian cultures, and add them to your research and findings.
