British cinema newsreel library covering British Movietone News in its entirety from 1929-1979. Online database is fully searchable (the database also includes the TV-AM library) with detailed shotlists available. All its issues can now be viewed online via QuickTime and requires registration, which is free.
In 2015 the entire archive was published on a Movietone YouTube channel by AP Archive making thousands of news stories freely available to browse, share and embed. Note: Much of the metadata has been stripped out (for example release date and issue number) making a search for a specific event more difficult.

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.
