    This massive, groundbreaking project from Columbia University’s Center for Digital Research and Scholarship highlights the role that women played in the silent film era, emphatically not just as actresses, but in editing, production, direction, writing, exhibition and design. Phase 1 of the project focuses on women in the USA and Latin America. Further phases will look at women in other national cinemas of the silent era. There is already a large amount of information available here, from Overview Essays, in-depth profiles of Pioneers, with biographies, filmographies and bibliographies and a Resources page, with links to archives, distributors, reference works and silent screen organisations.

    This portal provides access to American oral history and sound archive material, using open source software to enable content providers to store and catalogue their files so that their collections can be preserved in perpetuity. The software allows the files to be tagged with rich metadata (including recording date, broadcast date, location, subject, interviewer and interviewee) so that the collections can be easily searched and accessed by researchers. The material is streamed and is not available for download and new material is being added as it is digitised and catalogued.

    Collections include Studs Terkel’s interviews from the 1952-1997 radio show, The Studs Terkel Program, on the Chicago station WFMT, featuring Simone de Beauvoir, James Baldwin, Sidney Poitier and Diane Arbus, amongst others. Other collections, such as the Pacifica Radio Archives and Illinois Public Media document some of the most significant changes in recent American history, particularly the 1950s and 1960s. First hand accounts from prime movers and campaigners in the African-American civil rights movement, the women’s movement, and from student activism and gay rights campaigners, present a vital picture of a time of political and social upheaval from outside the mainstream US media.

    This German website (with subtitles in English) consists of a series of video interviews with women scientists about their careers, lives and experiences with science. Each video takes as its starting point an object which is significant in some way to the women’s life as a scientist - an old sofa, a begonia, a fragment of rock - and then proceeds from there. This anecdotal approach makes for a fascinating and revealing series of interviews, in which these women talk about what motivates and drives them as they talk about how they balance the demands of career and personal life.

    Presented in a half-hour magazine format, this series, which started in May 2012, features authors and academics discussing their latest books, generally in the political and economic arena, but venturing into linguistics, film studies, psychogeography, anthropology and even Scandinavian crime novels. Podcast 4 - London 2012 Olympics: What happens when global meets local? - sees Architectural Advisor to the 2012 Olympic Games and LSE Cities Professor Ricky Burdett talking about the primacy of legacy and the importance of leaving something that becomes "a real piece of city", followed by writer - and Hackney resident - Iain Sinclair’s take on the Olympics, in which he takes issue with the accelerated rate of change, arguing that the history of the place, and the needs of local people have been pushed aside by the demands of the "grand project". In Podcast 5, Melanie Williams, Lecturer in Film and Television Studies at the University of East Anglia, explains how film and gender studies make natural companions.

    The National Review of Live Art (NRLA) Archive is a video archive containing performances from the NRLA festival from 1986 (the first year film records were kept) to its final year in 2010. Over the thirty years of its existence, the festival became a key event in the experimental arts world, covering dance and theatre as well as multi-media installations and sound and video art. The archive’s content reflects this diversity, covering not only the performances themselves but also discussions and interviews with participating artists. Given the challenging nature of some of the film, the site has a warning that it contains "material of a sexual and violent nature and deal openly with contentious issue" and users must be over the age of 18 to access the material.

    The BBC has created a Reith Lectures microsite. At present 194 broadcasts are available, with the earliest recording being Frank Fraser Darling’s broadcasts from 1969. The Reith Lectures were inaugurated in 1948 by the BBC to mark the historic contribution made to public service broadcasting by Sir John (later Lord) Reith, the corporation’s first director-general. The very first Reith lecturer was the philosopher, Bertrand Russell who spoke on ‘Authority and the Individual’. Among his successors were Arnold Toynbee (The World and the West, 1952), Robert Oppenheimer (Science and the Common Understanding, 1953) and J.K. Galbraith (The New Industrial State, 1966). More recently, the Reith lectures have been delivered by the Chief Rabbi, Dr Jonathan Sacks (The Persistence of Faith, 1990), Jean Aitchison (The Language Web, 1996), Patricia J. Williams (Race and Race Relations, 1997), John Keegan (War and Our World, 1998) Anthony Giddens (Runaway World, 1999) and Onora O’Neill (A Question of Trust, 2002).
