These webcasts consist of lectures and talks by experts, academics, researchers and archivist. The Library of Congress has many different sites, collections and projects, covering a wide range of subjects: all are well-represented here and have been divided into eight broad subject areas: Biography, History, Performing Arts, Education, Government, Poetry and Literature, Religion and Science & Technology. Users can narrow their searches further within these broad headings, according to project/site/collection eg. The American Folklife Center, the Music Division, the Digital Future and You project, to name but three. The webcasts come with a brief description, date when uploaded and fully searchable transcripts. There is also a section for recently added webcasts. Although the talking head format is slightly old-fashioned the content is good and its searchability makes it a useful and user-friendly resource.

An online journal dedicated to celebrating and disseminating interesting public domain content. The strength of the collection lies in its scholarly but imaginative curatorial focus, which is on the ‘surprising, the strange and the beautiful’. The site’s content is organised according to Image, Audio, Film and Books. The moving image content features newsreel clips, fiction films, home movies, industrial and public information films and propaganda films. Each film is accompanied by a short contextual essay, giving the provenance of the clip, and links to its parent archive, copyright information and download options. There is a search function but the site is really designed for browsing and it is easy to become absorbed in the gems on offer.

A portal which helps people to ‘find great podcasts’. Curated by Max Temkin and Veronica Corzo-Duchardt, the site presents a selection of mainly American podcasts, arranged under a number of topics, including Tech, Science & Education, Politics & Econ and Storytelling. An Interview page features transcripts of question and answer sessions with podcasters, writers, designers and other culturally-aware, creative people, who talk about their favourite podcasts, and why (and how) they like listening to them. The site works well because its focus is fairly narrow: the emphasis is on curation, and presenting a carefully selected range of interesting podcasts, rather than a comprehensive but overwhelming list of resources.

There are nearly 200 of these podcasts available to listen to or download (in mp3 format). Each episode lasts between ten and twenty-five minutes and simply consists of an audio version of the person’s entry from the ODNB. The eclectic selection covers writers, politicians, scientists, entertainers and sportsmen and women, as well as ‘Wartime lives’, ‘Criminal lives’ and ‘One-offs’. The selection covers the very well-known - from the Emperor Hadrian and Boudicca, to Captain Scott, J.R.R. Tolkien and Princess Diana. The less obvious choices possibly provide more interesting fare: Nora Joyce, Humphrey Lyttelton, Angela Carter and Charles Darwin’s daughter Anne, to name just a few. Other names are not well-known but are remarkable in some way, such as the biographies of Herbert Burden, a World War I soldier, executed for desertion and Hannah Snell, an 18th century British woman who disguised herself as a man and became a soldier.
