    GAMA (Gateway to Archives of Media Art) aggregates content from eight European media archives, providing access to moving images and associated metadata in the realm of experimental film and video. The resource acts as a gateway, providing the user with details on archival holdings of the participating institutions but also streams a considerable amount of video content on the site itself. The search engine allows users to search by Keyword, Artist Name, Media Type and Date. As might be expected of such a venture the site is attractively designed and also features a number of interesting (if slightly) convoluted text essays on the theoretical background to the project and the ideological implications of digitisation and curation: essentially asking to what extent the nature of the artwork is altered by the form and context in which it exists.

    A portal which helps people to ‘find great podcasts’. Curated by Max Temkin and Veronica Corzo-Duchardt, the site presents a selection of mainly American podcasts, arranged under a number of topics, including Tech, Science & Education, Politics & Econ and Storytelling. An Interview page features transcripts of question and answer sessions with podcasters, writers, designers and other culturally-aware, creative people, who talk about their favourite podcasts, and why (and how) they like listening to them. The site works well because its focus is fairly narrow: the emphasis is on curation, and presenting a carefully selected range of interesting podcasts, rather than a comprehensive but overwhelming list of resources.

    There are nearly 200 of these podcasts available to listen to or download (in mp3 format). Each episode lasts between ten and twenty-five minutes and simply consists of an audio version of the person’s entry from the ODNB. The eclectic selection covers writers, politicians, scientists, entertainers and sportsmen and women, as well as ‘Wartime lives’, ‘Criminal lives’ and ‘One-offs’. The selection covers the very well-known - from the Emperor Hadrian and Boudicca, to Captain Scott, J.R.R. Tolkien and Princess Diana. The less obvious choices possibly provide more interesting fare: Nora Joyce, Humphrey Lyttelton, Angela Carter and Charles Darwin’s daughter Anne, to name just a few. Other names are not well-known but are remarkable in some way, such as the biographies of Herbert Burden, a World War I soldier, executed for desertion and Hannah Snell, an 18th century British woman who disguised herself as a man and became a soldier.

    Offering educational videos for free is the laudable aim of this website, which has resources in three subject areas: History of Art, Economics, and Science & Innovation. The videos in the History of Arts section are available in French and English versions. The site aims for quality over quantity, presenting a number of HD video essays, each of which, for the History of Art section, focuses on a single painting, including Hans Holbein’s The Ambassadors and Liberty Leading the People by Delacroix. Material for Economics and Science is currently only available in French. Some of the films can also be bought as DVDs.

    The Digital Humanities Observatory ceased its activities in August 2013. One of its legacies was this gateway to digital collections and resources from Irish museums, archives, galleries and universities, which provides online access to collections of letters, drawings, paintings, books, music and spoken word recordings, photographs, films and television programmes. The contributing institutions include national bodies like RTÉ Archive and The National Gallery of Ireland, and the Irish Traditional Music Archive, as well as smaller collections of cultural significance, such as the Doegen Records Web Project: a digital archive of Irish dialect recordings made during 1928-31 which comprises early Irish language recordings of folktales, songs and other material.

    One of the site’s most interesting features is its Discovery page which not only lets users to search across the portal’s different collections, but also allows the results to be displayed in a variety of data visualisations, including Bubble Visualisations, Dendrograms, Word Clouds, Tree-Maps and Node Links. The visualisation options are accompanied by useful notes, explaining suitability and offering tips for users on which visualisations are most appropriate for displaying and exploring different kinds of data.

    This resource presents thousands of animated demonstrations and interactive illustrations, mainly in in science, technology, mathematics but also in art, music, finance and other fields. The website defines ‘Demonstration’ as ‘the interactive demonstration of a concept’ and this broad definition applies to concepts in Life Science, Mathematics, Computation, Physical Sciences, Engineering and Technology, and Creative Arts amongst others.

    One of the website’s goals is to bring computational exploration to the widest possible audience, including schoolchildren, students, academics and industry researchers and this is reflected in the sheer range of material available, ranging from a visualisation of Schrödinger’s cat experiment (but with catnip, rather than poison),to an interactive demonstration of the Duckworth Lewis Method - an algorithm used to determine the result of rain-affected cricket matches in a way that is fair to both teams.

    The resource and all the demonstrations are free but users need to download the Wolfram cdf Player, which is also free. Users are encouraged to create their own demonstration using Mathematica software.
