    A project from the Wake Forest University Department of Physics where video clips of physics demonstrations used in the department are made available online. These are mainly classroom-type demonstrations of basic physics concepts. Videos are both streamed using Real or downloadable in MPEG format. The download option is far more interesting as it allows users to pause and advance frame by frame during key moments in the demonstration.

    Previously known as People’s Archive is a service "dedicated to collecting for posterity the stories of the great thinkers and creators of our time". Currently it features detailed interviews with biologists, filmmakers, physicists, mathematicians and craftsmen from various fields. Oddly all the interview subjects were initially male currently, but presumably this was coincidental and is slowly being addressed - currently there are interviews with Diana Athill, Dorothy Hodgkin, Paula Rego, Denise Scott Brown and Gitta Sereny. The archive currently contains over 200 items totaling over 100 hours. The clips have been very well encoded. A well organised resource which is very effectively segmented, it offers good transcriptions of all interviews and provides valuable oral histories. Subdivided into Remarkable People and Great Lives, with the latter organised into Arts, Politics and Science.

    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.
