HRAF IT began developing a new version of our flagship eHRAF World Cultures application in 2016. By 2020, the new application would be in the final stages of beta testing, with an anticipated launch date of 2022.

At the heart of the new application design, headed by HRAF Software Engineer Matthew Roth, is a much-anticipated Notebook feature to allow users to save, share, and annotate search results. The new application will also receive a number of performance upgrades enabling faster searching and more relevant results.
