How the NFSA is Using MongoDB Atlas and AI to Make Aussie Culture Accessible
Blog post from MongoDB
The National Film and Sound Archive of Australia (NFSA) is using MongoDB Atlas and AI to make its vast collection of audiovisual data easily accessible. Founded in 1935, the NFSA collects, preserves, and shares Australia's audiovisual culture, including broadcast-quality news footage, TV shows, movies, high-resolution photographs, radio shows, and video games. The organization has an extensive collection of petabytes of data that continues to grow each year. MongoDB Atlas helps the NFSA manage its database while also implementing search at scale. Since launching the redesigned site in July 2023, the number of users visiting the collection search website has increased by 200%. The NFSA is now exploring how it can use AI and vector search to allow users to explore content buried within its collection more effectively.
