External Site: Films of Anthropological and other "ancestors"[info]
Alan Macfarlane at Cambridge University has been interviewing anthropologists, historians,ethno-musicologists and international travellers on video since the 1980s. Extracts from forty of these as well as the full interviews, often lasting between sixty and ninety minutes or more, can be found on this rudimentary but easy to use site and will require QuickTime to access. The full interviews (not all of which are available yet) are chaptered in reasonable detail and include useful metadata on the topics covered. The encoding is top notch, but some of the material was originally of poor quality and can therefore be a little hard to follow.
