A collection of short videos, mostly less than ten minutes in length, organised under the headings ‘People’, ‘Things’ and ‘Happenings’. The ‘People’ videos consist mainly of artists and craftspeople at work or being interviewed, ‘Things’ concentrates of various exhibits and how they were made, and ‘Happenings’ relates to particular exhibitions or events at the museum.
The BBC, the bfi National Film and Television Archive, Channel 4 and the Open University have set up the Creative Archive Licence Group to make audiovisual archive content available for download under the terms of the Creative Archive Licence - a single, shared user licence scheme for the downloading of moving images, audio and stills. Moving image and sound content is freely available for download and non-commercial reuse, one users have signed into the Creative Archive Licence. Initial content from the BBC (including natural history, geographical locations, colours and the weather) and the British Film Institute (mostly silent film material) is now available, in Windows Media, QuickTime and MPEG-1 formats.
Website dedicated to the story and practice of the Buddhist religion. It includes dozens of audio files relating to religious teachings and will require either Real Audio or QuickTime to play. There is also a multimedia section devoted to the history of the movement which requires Flash Player version 6 to access.
Part of the Internet Archive, which also covers archived moving images (The Internet Moving Images Archive), audio and software, the Wayback Machine holds cached versions of thousands of websites and billions of pages, allowing users to look at sites that are no longer available or at earlier versions of ones that are still around. An invaluable resource that, due to the gigantic nature of the holdings, is slightly hampered by the fact that no list of the holdings can be easily provided. This means inevitably that correct recall of the URL in question is necessary, or failing that, searching for it on the web first.
The project focuses on five of the Yorkshire houses with significant standing ruins: Fountains, Rievaulx, and Byland principally, but also Roche and Kirkstall. The architecture of each site, explained in the context of other local churches (and European Cistercian abbeys), will open visual and textual windows onto the Cistercian way of life as experienced by the monks, the lay-brothers and their secular neighbours. Only partially completed, this project currently offers fascinating virtual tours of parts of the Kirkstall, Rievaulx and Roche Abbeys as well as a wealth of ancillary material.
This extremely large site incorporates much fascinating material relating to the history of the Staffordshire region, told in photographic stills and artist’s representations and occasionally audio, which will require Windows Media Player, while to view some of the documents QuickTime will be required.
This is a general site that links to the dozen or so property programmes screened by Channel 4 and especially supports Grand Designs, streaming programmes from all the previous series as well as providing more general information on self-building and house improvement.
