American online video store of basic design and limited catalogue information, covering feature films and documentary material such as National Geographic, Nova, science, nature and history, also opera, classical music, dance and literature. The company, also using the name ‘Viewfinders’, specialises in supplying material in video rather than DVD format and the site contains a regularly updated list of the new factory wrapped VHS titles they have remaining in stock. They claim to be able to supply virtually any video/DVD that is in current distribution in the US. In addition the site offers a ‘Radio Program’ of 3-minute audio descriptions of recommended films. This site is no longer active, but the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine offers a capture of the website as it appeared on 24/08/2005. This does not include access to the moving images.
AHDS Performing Arts was set up to collect, document, preserve and promote the use of digital resources to support research and teaching across the broad field of the performing arts: music, film, broadcast arts, theatre, dance. The Online Collections section of the web site contains links to a wide range of AHDS-sponsored digital collections relating to the performing arts. Funding for this project ended in 2008, but some of the content is still available.
Formerly an excellent guide to web sites on the humanities, with helpful but not overwordy site descriptions and useful background material. It also integrates search results with results from the database of the North West Film Archive, an innovative and very welcome initative. NB Intute closed in July 2011 and the site has now been archived. No further resources are being added and no changes are being made to existing content, so the resource will increasingly become less useful and reliable.
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.
