    This site celebrates the life of Quentin Crisp, the actor and raconteur who finally found fame in the 1970s with the publication of his autobiography The Naked Civil Servant, which was filmed for television in 1975, with John Hurt in the lead role. Crisp subsequently left the UK and settled in New York, where he remained until his death in 1999. The site includes material from this later part of his life, including clips of Crisp speaking a number of his famous aphorisms and bon mots which can be viewed with QuickTime, as well as moving slide shows. The site also has a stills gallery as well as extracts from Crisp’s books.

    This multimedia site is devoted to the works of the poet Wilfred Owen and required Real, Windows Media Player and QuickTime to access some of the content. Although the front page of the site is cluttered and unclear and can be quite discouraging to the casual user and can be rather off-putting, in general WOMDA does in fact contain a wealth of material which can be accessed through the browse page. This includes digital copies of practically all of Owen’s original manuscripts, many of his letters, audio interviews with war veterans, as well as a large number of video clips taken from the Imperial War Museum’s holdings as well as material made more recently, all of which also relates to the First World war in general.

    This compact website holds dozens of radio interviews by Don Wain with a variety of authors which were originally broadcast by CBS Radio (Real is required for access). Those interviewed include Peter Ackroyd, Raymond Carver, John Irving, Anthony Burgess, Margaret Attwood, Maya Angelou and many others. Plainly but effectively laid out in alphabetical order, the interviews are all between 25 and 45 minutes in duration. The site is hosted by Ohio University and is a model of its kind.

    Part of the Internet Archive, which also covers archived moving images (The Internet Moving Images Archive), audio and software, the Wayback Machine holds cached versions of thousands of websites and billions of pages, allowing users to look at sites that are no longer available or at earlier versions of ones that are still around. An invaluable resource that, due to the gigantic nature of the holdings, is slightly hampered by the fact that no list of the holdings can be easily provided. This means inevitably that correct recall of the URL in question is necessary, or failing that, searching for it on the web first.
