The Paley Center for Media is a not-for-profit cultural organisation based in New York and Los Angeles, which is dedicated to fostering an ongoing dialogue about the significance of television, radio and new broadcasting technologies on the lives of media professionals and the public. The centre’s media collection contains over 160,000 television and radio programmes and advertisements, searchable through an online database which offers synopses, along with production credits for the programmes. Although most of the collection is not online there is, nonetheless, a lot of freely available interesting audiovisual content, made accessible via a selection of curated online exhibitions on the site’s Perspectives on the Collection page. This page feature hand-picked clips and programmes chosen by the centre’s curatorial team, which are presented with contextual essays and notes. The range of subjects covers the whole spectrum of US media history - particularly the post-war period, with interesting items on everything from the media’s role in the Cuban Missile Crisis, to a history and appreciation of Rod Serling’s classic science fiction series The Twilight Zone.

The extensive record collection of Radio 1 DJ John Peel forms the bedrock of this resource. Users can browse along the virtual shelves to view Peel’s LP collection, which is currently in the process of being catalogued. A separate section features the DJ’s singles collection - currently a small selection of ‘B’ is complete, along with links to the music where available. The vastness of the collection means that this is very much a work in progress at the moment. The site also features links to videos featuring interviews with a number of Peel’s favourite bands and musicians. In 2014, in conjunction with The Space, the John Peel Archive relaunched its Record Box Project, in which key figures involved in music select tracks from the Peel collection and present them as a curated collection exploring the cultural context of the music, along with their own memories and experiences.

The new EUscreen portal features content from over twenty archives and broadcasters across Europe, bringing together videos, stills, text and audio that provide an insight into the social, cultural, political and economic events that have shaped the 20th and 21st centuries. The content is freely available and offers researchers and academics the chance to study and compare the development of European television history across national borders. Much of the content on the new site is organised by series entry, allowing users to more easily trace not only the progress of historical events but also the changing modes of television production across the decades. A unified metadata schema unites Europe’s heterogenous audiovisual collections and provides a rich and detailed level of description which will enable researchers to contextualise the material and place it in its proper historical, social and technological environment. The new version of the portal supports html5 playout which allows the content to be viewed on mobile devices and tablets.
