This royalty free stock footage source is particularly well-designed and easy to use and offers moving images and stills from the birth of cinema up to 1996, with the largest range of material dating from the 1940s. Titles are nearly all non-fiction and drawn largely from U.S. government agency sources. It is possible to search by specific day, month, year or decade; while the broad keywording is very efficient, the resource has a default primary emphasis on geographical location.

This French site is based on the Jean-Marie Boursicot Cinema Library’s database of over 800 000 advertising commercials. Several hundreds of these are streamed at no charge in RealVideo format (with higher quality MPEG available), searchable by keyword, brand, year, business sector, type of product and country. There are no searching instructions, and some of the categorisation is unclear, but the range of adverts available is considerable, from Icelandic milk ads, to jeans in Lebanon, Guinness ads from the UK, and Adidas from Argentina. Individual records provide links to other adverts by the same sector, brand and product, and sometimes give the agency and length. Information about such a remarkable resource is scanty. In English, French, Spanish and Portuguese. For a fee of $11.99 it is also possible to view online all 6 hours of the 2005 edition of the ‘Night of the Adeaters’ festival of 500 of the most creative advertising films from around the world. (A reduced fee allows access to 90 minutes of screenings).
