Pop Up Archive
This portal provides access to American oral history and sound archive material, using open source software to enable content providers to store and catalogue their files so that their collections can be preserved in perpetuity. The software allows the files to be tagged with rich metadata (including recording date, broadcast date, location, subject, interviewer and interviewee) so that the collections can be easily searched and accessed by researchers. The material is streamed and is not available for download and new material is being added as it is digitised and catalogued. Collections include Studs Terkel’s interviews from the 1952-1997 radio show, The Studs Terkel Program, on the Chicago station WFMT, featuring Simone de Beauvoir, James Baldwin, Sidney Poitier and Diane Arbus, amongst others. Other collections, such as the Pacifica Radio Archives and Illinois Public Media document some of the most significant changes in recent American history, particularly the 1950s and 1960s. First hand accounts from prime movers and campaigners in the African-American civil rights movement, the women’s movement, and from student activists and gay rights campaigners, present a vital picture of a time of political and social upheaval from outside the mainstream US media.

tellyAds
A no-frills resource which collects television adverts and presents them in alphabetical order, divided according to whether they are ‘recent’ or ‘vintage’. Users can see the Top Twenty most popular, recently viewed ads, as well as ITV’s Ads of the Decade as voted for by a panel of 8,000 viewers from ITV’s shortlist and transmitted on Sunday December 20th 2009. Other than the product name there is very little contextual information accompanying the videos, and the date given is when the video was uploaded to the site rather than the original transmission date. A Facebook page aims to encourage people to share information and memories.
