    Scientific American Frontiers is an American television series hosted by Alan Alda and broadcast on PBS. Its site gives the current TV schedule, teaching materials, and a very impressive video archive of past programmes, searchable by topic or keyword. This offers either complete programmes or segments using Real or Windows Media Player, for low or high-band connections, with most having an accompanying transcript where users can click on a particular point in the transcript to access that point in the video. Topics covered include archaeology, astronomy, biology/nature, chemistry/physics, computers/technology, earth science, engineering/mathematics, medicine/health, and psychology/cognitive science. Some have links to PBS web features, teaching guides etc.

    The Caltech Archives’ (California Institute of Technology) holdings include an extensive library of audio and video recordings of lectures and other scientific presentations. It holds the original tapes of the 1961–1962 Feynman lectures on physics. Also held is a series of about 60 interviews with physicists worldwide conducted by Caltech’s Kip Thorne while researching his book, Black Holes and Time Warps: Einstein’s Outrageous Legacy (1994). Most audio and video holdings are preserved in their original format and the Archive is incrementally migrating older analog media to digital formats for preservation and to make them accessible online. Audio and video material may be identified through a search of our catalogue by a name or keyword.

    Nanotechnology is the study and design of systems at the nanometer scale - the scale of atoms and molecules. This site, courtesy of the University of Wisconsin, includes a variety of short films to explore the issues involved, which are divided into basic, intermediate and advanced categories, with extremely good encoding. The various experiments conducted include explorations of DNA, LCDs, Silicon, thermoelectricity, atomic imaging, catalytic converters and even make use of Lego building blocks.

    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.
