The jewel in the crown of the Austrian Film Museum’s (OeFM) website is its digitised version of fourteen of the original 43 issues of the early Soviet newsreel series Kinonedelja prints of which were acquired by the museum in the 1970s. These newsreels not only provide an provide an invaluable record of life in the fledgling Soviet Russia, then in the throes of civil war, but also comprise the first films of Dziga Vertov - who soon after joining the company took on responsibility for the content and structure of each issue, and - on occasion - directed as well. The newsreels are free to view in their entirety and include full transcripts of the intertitles in German and English.

ChronoZoom is an open source, community collaboration between UC Berkeley, Moscow State University, and Microsoft Research that aims to cover - literally - life, the universe and everything, from the Big Bang to the present day. Visually stunning, if potentially overwhelming, Chronozoom works dynamically, based as it is on zoomable interactive timelines, to create a visual sense of the immensity of time - 13.7 billion years of "big history" - in a way that would be impossible in a static timeline. Still in its early stages at present, the site is limited to timelines and exhibits, but as geologist Walter Alvarez explains in the introductory video, further content will be developed in the future. Given the project’s ambitions, it is unsurprising that navigating the site can prove initially somewhat disorienting, but patient users will be rewarded with a powerful sense of the true scale of time over cosmic, geological, biological and social periods.

The result of a joint project between the East Anglian Film Archive and Rouen based Pôle Image Haute-Normandie (PIHN), this Anglo-French collaboration presents hundreds of short films, and excerpts from longer films, from East Anglia and Upper Normandy, tracing the social and cultural history of the two regions in film. Many of the clips are accompanied by informative commentaries which were recorded especially for the project. Users should be aware that the films are not always presented in their original form: a piece about the fishing industry edits together two films, one from the 1930s and one from the 1950s and many of the films which would have originally been silent are accompanied by music as well as a voiceover. This caveat aside, the site, which can be searched by theme, location, year and keyword, is well presented and contains a wealth of fascinating material.

This website is the result of a study conducted by Aberystwyth University to explore how the ‘golden age of television’ - ie. from the 1960s to the 1990s - influenced family life in Wales and to collect a range of views and recollections that together, in the words of project leader Dr Iwan Morus, "represent a national collective memory of television in Wales." The interviews were conducted around eight significant themes or events, including the Aberfan Disaster, Devolution Referendums, the Investiture of Prince Charles and the Drowning of Tryweryn. The interviewees were selected from four distinct geographical and linguistic communities, from the Rhondda and Carmarthen in the south to Wrexham and Caernarfon in the north. The resulting oral testimonies, in Welsh and English, provide a fascinating and often moving account of how a nation saw itself and how the act of remembering, itself a crucial ingredient in the formation of a national identity, can be shaped by media representations. The site is now under The People’s Collection in Wales.
