Site dedicated to psychologist and behavioural scientist B.F. Skinner. The Foundation exists "to educate the public about B.F. Skinner’s work, and to promote an understanding of the role of contingencies in human behavior". The site used to include a 67-minute audio file (using Real Player) of a presentation by Skinner, ‘On Having a Poem’, which discusses verbal behaviour from a behaviour analytic perspective and the criticisms of that position. At present (2009) this is no longer available though small video files are steadily being added.

This video subscription service offers very high quality QuickTime movies. The very high resolution samples on this site are of quite spectacular quality, but will require at 150mbs of free memory to play or the computer will crash. A few clips are available free, but otherwise a subscription is required. The movies are organised by genre (people, places, music, events etc.).

This accompanies a series of broadcasts on American public radio which collected many of the surviving audio recordings of ex-slaves which were made in the 1920s and 1930s throughout the United States. Put together by the Smithsonian Institute and supporting the 1998 book of the same name. The audiovisual part of the website is divided into five sections which looks at slavery in general, the work and home life of slaves and the adjustment to freedom and requires Real Audio to work, which can create some problems for Mac users - the site does offer help on how to overcome it however.
