This English language resource from The Netherlands comes with a bold strapline: ‘A 21st century window on the world’. It aims to provide a range of original documentaries and news reports from around the world reflecting the views of local video journalists. It was created for TV transmission by the VPRO broadcaster in Hilversum in Holland but the programmes are currently also screened in Belgium and Nicaragua. Each week the reporters provide programming on a designated topic such as ‘what’s it like to be an outcast, to be 15, to be gay, to be a senior citizen’ and so on. All broadcasts are offered with English language subtitles. The broadcasts (a total of 25 )are now available via YouTube Channel only.

Open Images describes itself as an '... open media platform that offers online access to audiovisual archive material to stimulate creative reuse’. Based in Holland, this is an initiative of the Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision which seeks to offer content from audiovisual collections that can be downloaded and remixed into new works under a Creative Commons Licensing model. It makes use of open video formats (Ogg Theora) and open standards (HTML5, OAI-PMH). It currently holds nearly 1,400 items from the 1919 to the present day with contributors encouraged to upload content. Titles can be searched by language (English and Dutch) and period but also in terms of the specifics of end-user licensing conditions. Along with newsreels and lectures there are also items on a wide variety of topics including sport, science and nature, politics, sport and the arts. The search interface is simple and easy to use though the resource, while fascinating and in many ways a model of its kind, is desperately bare when it comes to providing information on how to search its actual content.
