AMICO was a not-for-profit organization based in the USA (but with UK affiliates as well) which brought together institutions with collections of art for educational use through museum multimedia. Records include high resolution images, multiple views, video and detailed cataloguing information. Full use of the Library is only available through subscription, but sample records are available and a thumbnail image is available for the entire collection. The range of images encompasses contemporary art, Native American and Inuit art, ancient Greek, Roman, and Egyptian works, along with Japanese and Chinese works. Note - The Consortium was dissolved in June 2005 but the website remains online for archival reasons.

Based at the University of Hamburg in Germany, this site is subtitled "Unwrapping a Mummy by Mouse Click " and it aims to do just that. The mummy is that of a 30-year old woman from about 2300 years ago, and we are shown how the body was first scanned in to the computer, then reconstructed using CGI. The final results, which require QuickTime to view, allow the user to look at the different parts of the skull in six different ways. These include x-rays of the head and teeth, a 360 degree rotation of the skull as well as the mummy’s head being unwrapped layer by later. The site is available in both English and German language versions.

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.
