Providing standard information on the museum, its collections, exhibitions and its IMAX shows, the site also reproduces many documents that its staff has produced over the years, as well as virtual exhibitions. It also provides a useful FAQ on such matters as transferring from obsolete video formats and what to do when you find cans full of nitrate film in your loft. Formerly known as the National Museum of Photography, Film and Television.
General information source for film, video, CD-ROM and other interactive productions on fine arts, architecture, photography, decorative arts, and related topics. Includes the ‘Art on Screen Database’, a database of art subjects on film from a variety of sources, designed for students, curators and film researchers., containing 25,000 records, mostly from 1970 to the present. Also web links and information on film festivals.
Formerly an excellent guide to web sites on the humanities, with helpful but not overwordy site descriptions and useful background material. It also integrates search results with results from the database of the North West Film Archive, an innovative and very welcome initative. NB Intute closed in July 2011 and the site has now been archived.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.
This small site is based on the personal collection of Thomas Weynants relating to pre- and early cinema. It includes examples of such pre-cinema visual entertainments and toys as the Phantasmagoria, Magic Lanterns, Phenakistiscopes and a selection of stereoscopic images.
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.
