Several dozen Reusable Learning Objects (RLOs) made for staff and students at the University of Nottingham, lasting between 15 and 30 minutes, can be accessed here. Topics can be searched by a detailed list and include: Anatomy, Genetics, Maths, Midwifery, Pharmacology, Philosophy, Veterinary Science. Although the site states that it has not been updated since 2008 items are in fact still being added. Although spartan in appearance it remains an easy-to-use and fascinating resource. Requires Flash.

Very impressive collection of short animated videos from the photomicrograph collections of Florida State University, being ‘time-lapse digital image sequences that explore the effect of rotating polarization, sample rotation, and crystallization as it actually appears under the microscope.' The videos can be streamed using Real Player to suit low or high bandwidths (from 14.4K up to T1 or DSL connections), with a selection of uncompressed digital videos available as AVI downloads. The videos are available in four ‘galleries’: Chemical Crystals, Pond Life, the QX3 Microscope Time-Lapse Movie Gallery , and the Nikon MicroscopyU Digital Movie Gallery , and each comes with supporting descriptions.

The Caltech Archives’ (California Institute of Technology) holdings include an extensive library of audio and video recordings of lectures and other scientific presentations. It holds the original tapes of the 1961–1962 Feynman lectures on physics. Also held is a series of about 60 interviews with physicists worldwide conducted by Caltech’s Kip Thorne while researching his book, Black Holes and Time Warps: Einstein’s Outrageous Legacy (1994). Most audio and video holdings are preserved in their original format and the Archive is incrementally migrating older analog media to digital formats for preservation and to make them accessible online. Audio and video material may be identified through a search of our catalogue by a name or keyword.

A lengthy collection of multimedia chemistry resources on the Web, divided up into Analytical Chemistry, Biochemistry, Nucleic acid-related, Protein-related, General chemistry, Inorganic/organometallic chemistry, Organic chemistry, Physical/theoretical chemistry, Safety, Software, and Other WWW chemistry resources. However, a frustratingly large number of the links do not work.

Part of the Internet Archive, which also covers archived moving images (The Internet Moving Images Archive), audio and software, the Wayback Machine holds cached versions of thousands of websites and billions of pages, allowing users to look at sites that are no longer available or at earlier versions of ones that are still around. An invaluable resource that, due to the gigantic nature of the holdings, is slightly hampered by the fact that no list of the holdings can be easily provided. This means inevitably that correct recall of the URL in question is necessary, or failing that, searching for it on the web first.
