This paper presents a multimedia corpus of the Yiddish language that was created by the authors. The first version of the corpus has 10 hours of audio and video materials synchronized with a transcript. For the main corpus, a search platform and web interface using the NoSQL database, the Django web framework and a number of modules in the JavaScript language have been created. The web interface makes it possible to make lexicogrammatical queries and browse the results that are presented as transcripts that are highlighted synchronously with the played-back multimedia material. We describe the differences between the multimedia corpus of the Yiddish language and similar multimedia corpuses and the advantages of the created query platform.
