This royalty free stock footage source is particularly well-designed and easy to use and offers moving images and stills from the birth of cinema up to 1996, with the largest range of material dating from the 1940s. Titles are nearly all non-fiction and drawn largely from U.S. government agency sources. It is possible to search by specific day, month, year or decade; while the broad keywording is very efficient, the resource has a default primary emphasis on geographical location.
