Databrary is a restricted access data library that is specialized for storing, streaming, and sharing video and audio recordings collected as research data or documentation. Databrary supports sharing of many types of research data and documentation beyond video and audio. Based at New York University (NYU), Databrary's mission is to support data sharing among researchers in the behavioral, social, educational, developmental, neural, and computer sciences.

We invite you to learn more about Databrary. The Databrary Access Agreement provides the foundation for granting researchers authorized access to restricted use data. Related policies are described on separate pages. A selected bibliography of publications from our group is available, as is some information about our team.
