Every clip in every Verika production is sourced from a named institutional archive — with an accession number, a licence record, and a verifiable chain of custody. No stock footage libraries. No unnamed sources. No synthetic media.
Over 400,000 images and videos spanning six decades of human spaceflight — mission footage, Earth observation, planetary science, and space station operations.
Over 17 million digital items — historical film, newsreel footage, recorded sound, photographs, and manuscript collections from the world's largest library.
Over 4.4 million open-access items — art, natural history, culture, and anthropology from the world's largest museum complex across 21 museums.
Over 30 million digitised records — military footage, presidential recordings, census photography, immigration documents, and federal film spanning the full history of the United States.
Over 85,000 newsreel films covering major historical events from 1896 to the present day — one of the oldest and most comprehensive newsreel archives in the world.
Weather systems, climate data, ocean exploration, satellite imagery, hurricane tracking, and environmental monitoring — decades of observational data from land, sea, and space.
…and many more institutional, government, and scientific archives — integrated directly into the engine, with new sources added continuously.
Each source has a dedicated adapter handling API authentication, search, pagination, and licence inference.
Each sentence of narration is analyzed semantically. The engine identifies what needs to be shown — a location, a person, an event, a concept — and determines which archives are most likely to have it.
30+ source adapters search simultaneously. Each adapter handles its archive's specific API, authentication, pagination, and rate limits. Results are scored for visual relevance using semantic matching.
The winning clip is downloaded, its source recorded with accession number and licence, and it's woven into the timeline. At render, the full provenance chain is signed with a C2PA manifest.
