Derived in part from the resource known as Artifact, a hub of the Resource Discovery Network (RDN), this excellent guide to websites on the ‘arts and creative industries’, provides helpful but not overwordy site descriptions and useful background material including an artists’ index and news features. NB Intute closed in July 2011 and the site has now been archived. No further resources are being added and no changes are being made to existing content, so the resource will increasingly become less useful and reliable.

The catalogue to the British L:ibrary Sound Archive’s collection of over two and a half million recordings stretching back to the late 19th century is now available online. The catalogue entries are precise, but it is not possible (as yet) to listen the recordings themselves. The seven main subject areas covered by the collection are Classical Music, Drama and Literature, International Music, Jazz, Oral History, Popular Music and Wildlife Sound. The site includes practical information on accessing the recordings, details of BLSA publications, and a valuable page of external links. In May 2009, a Curator for Radio was appointed and since then a new set of web pages relating to radio have been produced.

ETV is a specialised film archive holding footage of the twentieth century. The archive specialises in left wing footage from around the world, with a particular emphasis on material from Russia and the Soviet Union. There is no searchable database, only sections from ETV subject catalogues, which do at least point out the range and strengths of the collection. This site is no longer active, but it can be traced by entering the address in the Wayback Machine. The ETV collection is now held by the National Film and Television Archive.

Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, is progressively making the papers of Thomas Edison available, in microfilm and book form, and online. The online version gives researchers access to Edison’s papers 1850-1898, which includes the period when he was working on the development of motion pictures. The texts are for the specialist, and the searching system is a little complex, but the results are superb. The identifications and indexing are admirably thorough, and eventually one has access to images of the original documents. Precisely the sort of site to demonstrate what the Internet is for.
