This website is one of the outcomes of a project which set out to make available to the widest possible audience the sound collections of the Pitt Rivers Museum, Oxford University’s Museum of Anthropology and World Archaeology. The project has made available online a broad selection of the main ethnographic (field) sound collections held by the Museum. These include selections from the Edward Evans-Pritchard collection of recordings from made in Zandeland in South Sudan between 1928 and 1930, and recordings of the Bayaka tribe in the Central African Republic, made by pioneering ethnomusicologist Louis Sarno. In addition to the recordings themselves (which are hosted on SoundCloud), a useful array of contextual resources is available, including video interviews with a number of leading ethnomusicologists, sound curators, audio engineers, and other related experts, as well as talks from workshops which took place during the project programme, and stills and video clips made by Louis Sarno in the Central African Republic. In 2014 the Museum completed a major digitisation project on its film collections. Much of the material is unique and of significant historical importance, such as the films of Frederick Spencer Chapman made in Tibet, Greenland and Africa, Beatrice Blackwood in Papua New Guinea and Ursula Graham Bower in India.

GEOSET (Global Educational Outreach for Science, Engineering and Technology) is a freely accessible, searchable internet gateway to a selection of SET and related educational materials. Most of the videos take the form of ‘concept modules’ - rather than whole lectures or courses - focused on specific topics, in the form of split-screen presentations, in which the video of the presenter is in one window and the educational material synchronised and presented in a second window. GEOSET also links to other major sources of educational material such as at the Vega archive site and the Royal Society. Users can filter by age suitability, type of video, and subject.

Michael Wesch is an American cultural anthropologist, whose area of academic interest revolves around how people use digital media and how new media affects human interaction. In order to explore human uses of digital technology, Wesch formed the Digital Ethnography Working Group with a group of his students at the University of Kansas. At the same time he posted a video The Machine is Us/ing Us on YouTube which advances the idea that digital technology will change everything: the use of hyperlinks and xml will create an interconnected digital world in the image of those who have created it. Wesch’s point is that we need to be aware of this in order to make it happen. His ideas are explored in more depth in An Anthropological Introduction to YouTube. Both videos are also available on this site (and can be downloaded as wmv or Quicktime files) along with other videos, made by Wesch and his students, together with a thought-provoking blog.
