Previously known as People’s Archive is a service "dedicated to collecting for posterity the stories of the great thinkers and creators of our time". Currently it features detailed interviews with biologists, filmmakers, physicists, mathematicians and craftsmen from various fields. Oddly all the interview subjects were initially male currently, but presumably this was coincidental and is slowly being addressed - currently there are interviews with Diana Athill, Dorothy Hodgkin, Paula Rego, Denise Scott Brown and Gitta Sereny. The archive currently contains over 200 items totaling over 100 hours. The clips have been very well encoded. A well organised resource which is very effectively segmented, it offers good transcriptions of all interviews and provides valuable oral histories. Subdivided into Remarkable People and Great Lives, with the latter organised into Arts, Politics and Science.

The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation has recently celebrated its fiftieth anniversary, and its site showcases radio and TV clips from its long history. The clips are organised both thematically and by decade and require Windows MediaPlayer. One can also take a virtual tour of the archive, which also contains much ancillary material which serves to put the large amount of data in context. Highlights include footage of De Gaulle’s inflammatory ‘Vive le Québec libre!' speech, Expo 67, coverage of the 1952 Coronation and this interview with Neil Young from 1969 in which he discusses his reasons for leaving the Buffalo Springfield.

Sadly partially inactive since March 2001, the motto of this site was "We scour the net so you don’t have to!" and it frequently lived up to its boast. it includes recent news items, links to animation companies, a ‘Pick-of-the-Week’ section as well as featured animations. The main sections of the Animation World Network (q.v. separate entry) remain valuable and up-to-date however.

The Steven Spielberg Film Archive at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem holds the world’s largest collection of Jewish documentary film footage. Its ‘Virtual Cinema’ is now streaming over 100 titles from the collection (using Windows Media Player), divided into Jewish Communities, Holocaust, Pre-State, State of Israel and Hebrew University of Jerusalem. The ‘cinema’ presentation of the films is particularly attractive. Information on the individual titles is scanty, but the Archive’s catalogue is available elsewhere on the site.
