This website is the result of a two year project based in North East England, collecting digital stories from people across the region. The aim of the project was to use objects and artefacts from museums and galleries to inspire local people to tell their own stories, in their own words, and then to make these stories accessible in digital form in order to raise awareness of the diverse heritage and backgrounds of people across the North East.

Founded by Professor Ray Johnson in 1980, and housed at the University of Staffordshire, the archive documents the social history of the county, covering the industrial areas of Stoke on Trent and the Potteries as well as rural Staffordshire. Footage of local trades, such as pottery making, iron and steel working and coal mining predominates: also represented are football and cricket history and other sports. The primary archive material is supplemented by video filmed by Professor Johnson himself, including location film, interviews and documentaries, some of which are available to buy on DVD.

Using documentary films preserved by the BFI National Archive and other public film archives, the website presents a number of topics which explore aspects of British history, and the history of documentary filmmaking in the 20th century. Each topic is represented by a selection of films which can be seen in full, accompanied by videos presented by curators and archivists from the BFI and other film archives, who put the material in its context and explain the importance of different kinds of film, from travelogues and home movies, to newsreels, propaganda and government films.

Academics from the University of Nottingham’s School of Cultures, Languages and Area Studies present a series of short videos based on a single word which is significant to their research. The site’s homepage presents the words as a kind of crossword puzzle grid, presumably to represent the interdisciplinary nature of the School. The user clicks on a word - Huguenot, Biscuit, Interstitial or Antisemistism - to name but four - and is taken to the video in question. Like other sites designed by Brady Haran, this one features a simple, stylish, slightly quirky approach which allows the enthusiasm of the academics to come across, without obscuring or trivialising the seriousness of their research.

This website is the result of an AHRC-funded project to explore the relationship of film history, memory and the urban landscape of Liverpool from 1897 to the 1980s. Liverpool is one of Britain’s most filmed cities and one of the project’s achievements has been the creation of an online catalogue listing around 1700 films, particularly those which record the city’s urban landscape, documenting locations, landmarks and buildings. Consequently the emphasis is on amateur, newsreel, travelogues and promotional films, rather than fiction or feature films. In addition to the usual searches by genre, date etc. users can also search the catalogue by spatial and geographic information specific to each title.
There are also a number of videos, filmed at various events held throughout the project’s duration. Here writer Iain Sinclair talks about his view of Liverpool as an outsider. In this video Ethel Singleton speaks about her role in the Nick Broomfield documentary Behind the Rent Strike (1974), about the action undertaken by tenants in Kirkby New Town in December 1972 in protest at the Housing Finance Bill.

This online encylopedia from Italy consists of thousands of short videos - generally between three and five minutes long, many of them based on entries from the Treccani Encyclopaedia and approved by the Istituto dell’Enciclopedia Italiana. Topics covered include Art and Design; Cinema; Culture; Economics and Politics; Music and Dance; Tourism; Science and Sport. This could be a good resource for Italian language students but the breathless editing and distractingly loud music which accompanies the voiceovers does not necessarily present the content in its best light.
