Over 2,000 video interviews, covering conflicts in which Australia has been involved, from World War One to Afghanistan . The archive encompasses the battlefront, the home front, media and entertainment, children, teachers, wives, workers and clerical staff.

Musician Darren Hayman has created this website to document his ‘project about rural life’ in which he visits every one of the 54 Thankful Vilages in England and Wales . A Thankful or Blessed Village, is the name given by writer and educator Arthur Mee to a settlement where every soldier returned alive from the First World War. The films, music and text on the site rarely refer directly to the Great War itself: Hayman’s project is more a way of exploring aspects of life in small rural communities and documenting his own responses to his journey through the music he makes - written and recorded in each village as he travels the country.

This site aims to recreate the soundscape of New York in the early twentieth century. Contemporary newsreel footage, with the live sound foregrounded, provides a fascinating perspective on a defining aspect of the urban experience during the Jazz Age. The bulk of the clips are taken from the 1920s but the time span runs between 1900 - 1932. Website navigation is via a beautifully designed map of New York city and the surrounding areas. The newsreel footage (mainly Fox Movietone) and sounds are enhanced by the presence of noise pollution complaints (some with documentation) from the time, taken from the Municipal Archives of New York, ranging from printing plants in Brooklyn to barking dogs in Queens.
