    This comprehensive guide to the world of animation gives practical advice and demonstrations which are aimed at teaching beginners in the classroom, but which will also be of more general interest. The site is divided into four sections: Animation Lessons (requiring Flash plug-in) in which one can study a large number of simple animations frame by frame, Scriptwriting, Curriculum (dealing with equipment, materials and techniques) and a section devoted to computer animation. The layout is very easy to comprehend, further complementing this very useful resource.

    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 NB Intute closed in July 2011 and the site has now been archived.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.

    A multimedia cultural history of the shoe in the twentieth century, wittily and stylishly designed. The site divides the subject into decades, with the shoes of each decades viewable as rotating QuickTime videos, and short film clips being available to illustrated each decade, as well as more conventional text.

    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.
