This website is the result of a collaboration between the Humanities Division and the Bodleian Library at the University of Oxford. The project aims, through an interdisciplinary approach, to analyse and explore the fertile and complex period in the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries, when early modern science began to take shape, and it aims to do this by focusing on the networks of learned correspondence from the period. In this way the project hopes to provide a unified way of approaching a subject which would otherwise - given the variety of its disciplines, professions, institutions and settings - be extremely daunting. One outcome of the project is a union catalogue - Early Modern Letters Online. A number of podcasts and videos document the proceedings of workshops and conferences, software demonstrations, and introductions to tools and resources for the digital representation of correspondence.

This resource from the University of Warwick was created in 2012 to celebrate the bicentenary of the birth of Charles Dickens. The site features short films, podcasts, and articles as well as a 45 minute documentary. Led by Professor John Mee, the videos and podcasts explore various aspects of the novelist’s work, covering Dickens and crime, Dickens in relation to his philanthropic works, as well as wider aspects of Victorian society. Writer Andrew Davies contributes to the discussion on screen adaptation, talking here with Professor Gary Watt about the cinematic nature of Dickens as well as the challenges he has faced in adapting the works for the screen. Aspects of certain novels, including Bleak House, Great Expectations and Little Dorrit are explored in greater depth in individual podcasts. The discussion on Our Mutual Friend, for example, looks at the destabilising effect of the novel’s dark humour and its presentation of human beings as commodities to be bartered and traded.

The brainchild of former North Carolina State University professor Marshall Brain, this site uses various media, including podcasts and videos, to explain how things work. It is essentially a popular science site but contains a great deal of high quality educational content and has now expanded to cover non-science subjects (see for example How Nepotism Works). Searching is made easier by a clear interface in which categories with their various subdivisions are simply displayed: the Engineering Videos page, for example, features categories such as Robotics, Buildings and Structures, Materials Science. The site’s videos and podcasts are supplemented by a number of blogs.

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.
