    The result of a joint project between the East Anglian Film Archive and Rouen based Pôle Image Haute-Normandie (PIHN), this Anglo-French collaboration presents hundreds of short films, and excerpts from longer films, from East Anglia and Upper Normandy, tracing the social and cultural history of the two regions in film. Many of the clips are accompanied by informative commentaries which were recorded especially for the project. Users should be aware that the films are not always presented in their original form: a piece about the fishing industry edits together two films, one from the 1930s and one from the 1950s and many of the films which would have originally been silent are accompanied by music as well as a voiceover. This caveat aside, the site, which can be searched by theme, location, year and keyword, is well presented and contains a wealth of fascinating material.

    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.
