British cinema newsreel library covering British Movietone News in its entirety from 1929-1979. Online database is fully searchable (the database also includes the TV-AM library) with detailed shotlists available. All its issues can now be viewed online via QuickTime and requires registration, which is free.
In 2015 the entire archive was published on a Movietone YouTube channel by AP Archive making thousands of news stories freely available to browse, share and embed. Note: Much of the metadata has been stripped out (for example release date and issue number) making a search for a specific event more difficult.

The combined archives of the Gaumont, Éclair and French Pathé news archives, with news material going back to 1896. There are a substantial number of streamed video copies of the Gaumont newsreels, making this site one of the leading sources of online historical news footage in the world. The videos use RealPlayer, for connections from 56K to T1, and the quality of the encodings is very high. The catalogue is available in French and English, the latter appearing to have been produced using a translation programme, which has produced some quaint results.
