An extensive collection of video and audio clips taken from interviews with scientists and scholars, including several Nobel Prize winners (Milton Friedman, Ilya Prigogine, Norman Borlaug, John F.

ArtSigns is an online sign language glossary for terms in art and design, funded by the Department for Education and Skills. It contains over 2,000 signs, demonstrated with streaming video (QuickTime or Windows Media Player), which are categorised under 3D Design, Applied Arts and Design, Art History, Digital Media, Fine Art, General Art & Design Terms, and Visual Communications. Each term comes with a useful written definition, and there is a good system of cross-referencing to related terms, making it a handy guide to art and design in general as well as to the hearing-impaired.
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.
