The material is also available on TV on satellite and cable in California. Its archive of video material can be viewed with RealPlayer and is organised under a series of categories (Agriculture, Arts & Music, Health & Medicine, Humanities, Public Affairs and Science). The programmes last from 30 to 90 minutes and the quality of the encoding is unusually high. One can also view UCTV live. The site uses rather too small a font but is otherwise a model of its kind and is highly recommended. Users can now subscribe to audio and video podcasts.

    This gateway from the American Rhetoric site links to a plethora of websites that provide either text or audio files of famous speeches, with a predominantly American bias. The individual items are listed alphabetically, although it is unfortunate that individuals are listed by their first name (i.e. Winston Churchill is under W). Some of the highlights include Charlton Heston on gun control, Jeff Daniels reading Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address, Roosevelt’s Pearl Harbor speech and William Faulkner accepting the Nobel Prize.

    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.
