In the spring of 2013, our old video channel host--Blip.tv--decided that our content didn't fit in with their new make-over of being the place to go for fictional video webseries. So, Rochester Indymedia was given a week to download all of our content before it would be deleted.
Needless to say, we got our content. Re-uploading it onto our YouTube.com channel (https://www.youtube.com/user/RochesterIndymedia) has been a much slower and tedious process.
On top of that, many of the people who have participated with the IMC over the years have content that was never published. This content comes in the forms of video, audio, written work, and still photography.
From the Vault! is a new type of feature where we can unearth some of our old and unpublished stuff and put it out there for our (new) audience. Other feature types we've used in the past and might be used in the future again are IndyTV (our interview show at Rochester Community Television) and Indymedia Uncut (a feature usually showcasing a lengthy interview or lecture).
