This archive, hosted by Columbia University, offered access to the complete range of free content developed for Fathom by its member institutions. Fathom was made up of 14 institutions, including LSE, the British Library, Cambridge University, Chicago University, and offered interviews, articles, performances, exhibits and free online seminars. The bias was mainly towards science, but journalism, history, politics and other areas were also covered. Inactive since August 2012 the site shows the following message: "This site is not longer being developed or maintained, but was part of a series of early and experimental online learning projects. Material here continues at present to be available to members of the Columbia community, but there may be some segments of the site that no longer work as initially intended."

Hundreds of video lectures and tutorials from around the world are available from here on a variety of scientific topics as well as interviews with such luminaries as Tim Berners Lee and Noam Chomsky. Windows Media Player is required to view. The presentation is for the most part very straightforward and rarely goes beyond the taping in medium shot of a speaker lecturing his audience, though some of the interviews do stray outside the lecture hall. The encodings are perfectly watchable even for items that last over an hour and in addition copies of the relevant PowerPoints have sometimes been included. The site does not offer a subject index, but there is an alphabetised run down of all the speakers. The site is available in English and Slovenian.

Formerly known as PSIgate (Physical Sciences Information Gateway), this site is the physical sciences hub of Intute (formerly known as the Resource Discovery Network or RDN). Intute became inactive in 2011 and the archived site was closed in December 2014. Here is presented an archive of the listings that are still available in the physical sciences: astronomy, chemistry, earth sciences, physics and general science.

American online video store of basic design and limited catalogue information, covering feature films and documentary material such as National Geographic, Nova, science, nature and history, also opera, classical music, dance and literature. The company, also using the name ‘Viewfinders’, specialises in supplying material in video rather than DVD format and the site contains a regularly updated list of the new factory wrapped VHS titles they have remaining in stock. They claim to be able to supply virtually any video/DVD that is in current distribution in the US. In addition the site offers a ‘Radio Program’ of 3-minute audio descriptions of recommended films.
This site is no longer active, but the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine offers a capture of the website as it appeared on 24/08/2005. This does not include access to the moving images.
