This site is largely devoted to presenting RealAudio and MP3 versions of old 78 rpm recordings of Music Hall performers and turn of the century operatic recordings. The choice is somewhat limited by the fact that it only uses items for which the copyright has now lapsed, but there is a lot of useful technical information on the way that the old 78s were transferred as well as many fascinating musical recordings.

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.

Remarkable online museum devoted to the work of the inventor of the wireless, Guglielmo Marconi, his other scientific discoveries, the impact of wireless, the development of modern communications, and the work of the Marconi company today. Beautifully inventive in its use of Flash animation (version 4), the site illustrates Marconi’s life and legacy through sound and film clips (using Real, Windows Media Player or QuickTime), photographs, Flash animations (including the role of Marconi broadcasts in the Titanic and the capture of Dr. Crippen), photographs and case studies. There is an online archive with digitised Marconicgrams, documents, and ephemera relating to early radio, television and communications history. There is a simpler HTML version of the site which includes access to the archive.
