      AVResearcherXL is a tool for exploring radio and television programme descriptions, television subtitles, tweets about television programmes, and general newspaper articles. The interface searches across the catalogue "<a href="http://in.beeldengeluid.nl/collectie/#/search/?q=&amp;publiclyViewableResultsOnly=false" target="_blank">iMMix</a>" of the <a href="http://www.beeldengeluid.nl/en" target="_blank">Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision</a> and a selection of newspapers of <a href="http://www.kb.nl/" target="_blank">KB Royal Archive of the Netherlands</a>. For an elaborate user manual, we refer to the <a href="/#/help">help page</a>.
    </p><p>
      AVResearcherXL is financially supported by <a href="http://clarin.nl/" target="_blank">CLARIN-NL</a> within the ‘QuaMeRDES-project’ and by <a href="http://www.clariah.nl/en/" target="_blank">CLARIAH</a>-SEED within the ‘Research Instruments for Media Studies-project’. AVResearcherXL is an extended version of MeRDES, the tool developed in 2012 by the <a href="http://www.nwo.nl/en/research-and-results/programmes/Continuous+Access+To+Cultural+Heritage+(CATCH)" target="_blank">NWO-CATCH</a> project <a href="http://ilps.science.uva.nl/node/735" target="_blank">BRIDGE</a>. MeRDES was further developed into AVResearcher by the Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision in 2013.
