The Open Video Project aims ‘to collect and make available a repository of digitized video content for the digital video, multimedia retrieval, digital library, and other research communities.' It is being developed by the Interaction Design Laboratory at the School of Information and Library Science, University of North Carolina. It is building up a library of downloadable video segments in MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, and so far includes materials predominately from the Carnegie Mellon University Infomedia Project on geology, geography and oceanography; the University of Maryland Human-Computer Interaction Lab; and particularly the Prelinger Archives (the Internet Moving Images Archive) on everyday life in America. The Browse feature indicates how the videos are categorised by genre (documentary, lecture, educational, ephemeral), duration (under a minute to over ten minutes - many titles are available in segmented form), colour, sound and contributing organisation. Each title comes with basic catalogue information.

Launched in 2006, the Open University's OpenLearn website has grown to provide over 8000 study hours of video, audio and print materials from OU courses. It is not necessary to be a student of the OU to use the resources. OpenLearn does not of itself grant degrees or award credits, but there is a link for those who wish to consider formal Study at the OU. LearningSpace units are divided up into the subject areas of Body & Mind, Education, History & the Arts, Languages, Money & Management, Nature & Environment, Science, Maths & Technology, and Society. There is substantial video content included (Flash).
In 2010 OpenLearn merged with open2.net, the site that supported OU-produced BBC general programming. So now OpenLearn also gives access to topical and interactive content, from expert blogs, to videos and games that enrich these programmes.

Inspired by the Mass-Observation movement of the 1930s onwards, the BBC Video Nation site has grown out of its Video Diaries programmes of the 1990s, where people were given Hi-8 video cameras and invited to record their lives of a year. Video Nation Online was launched in 2001 with 250 of the original shorts. The site has expanded to some 750 films, with strong English regional coverage. The films are classified by theme, special features, localities and contributor. The films are available in both narrowband (56k|ISDN) and broadband (256k+) formats.
