Past Horizons is one of the largest online databases of fieldwork opportunities in the world, featuring hundreds of listings for archaeological projects. The database contains details about the site, with links, project information, dates and costs. In the past, this website used to stream heritage videos but that is not the case any longer.
The website accompanying the BBC Radio 4 series In Our Time, in which Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the history of ideas, has been redesigned, and the Archive section now makes every episode broadcast since the series began in 1998 available to listen to again via RealPlayer. Programmes are searchable by title, genre (culture, history, philosophy, religion, science) and by era, from prehistoric to 20th century. Recent programmes are available as podcasts, and an e-mail newsletter gives Melvyn Bragg’s personal insight into the latest programme.
Wessex Archaeology is one of the largest archaeological practices in the country, working with councils and developers to ensure that archaeological remains are recorded and preserved before work begins on new development schemes. In September 2005 Wessex Archaeology launched Archaeocast - a continuing series of audio podcasts, providing audio tours of various excavations and projects with which it is involved and information on what it’s really like to be an archaeologist.
Gresham College, named after Sir Thomas Gresham, has been giving free lectures for some 400 years. Over 2,000 audio and/or video lectures given since 2001 are available on the site for free, on-demand streaming or download approximately two weeks after they have been given. The main subject areas are Art & Literature, Medical Science, Business, History, Law, Mathematics, Music, Politics, Religion, Science, and Unusual, which includes Media, Education, Climate Change and others. Results can also be filtered by subcategories. For example, there is a section on Film under the Arts & Literature category, and a section on Film Music under the Music category. The lectures last, on average, between 25 minutes and a little under an hour. They all have a good number of chapters and a fair amount of information is given on the site as well as transcripts and links to related materials. The content can also be browsed via the tab Watch which contains four groupings: All Past Lectures, Series, Shorts and Short Series.
