Formerly known as "The Auteurs", this website, which describes itself as an "online cinematheque", offers subscribers streamed films, for a small monthly fee. The site shows a mixture of world cinema classics and more recent arthouse and foreign releases, making it ideal for those looking outside the more mainstream offerings of Netflix, for example. The site is run in partnership with The Criterion Collection, the French film distributor Celluloid Dreams and Costa Films, a company specializing in the distribution of films from Latin America, which means that MUBI can stream films unavailable in other formats. The site offers subscribers thirty films at any one time, adding a new film every day. When a new film is added the oldest one disappears from the list. The site also features a forum, a festivals section and Notebook, a digital magazine of film criticism, reviews and more light-hearted items.

This Earth Sciences resource was developed by the Open University to broaden access to rock collections previously only available in universities, museums or specialist institutions. The aim is to engage with students at school or in higher education and to help develop identification and classification skills without the need for expensive microscopes or the facilities to prepare thin slices of rock. Users can zoom, pan and rotate specimens in light conditions that mirror those previously only possible using specialist petrological microscopes. The collections include meteorites as well as a news section and a list of teaching resources.

An initiative of the Deutsche Kinemathek Museum für Film und Fernsehen this site aims to encourage a collaborative approach to listing and identifying relevant information and surviving documents concerning lost and unidentified films, ranging from well-known examples like F.W. Murnau’s Four Devils, to obscurities such as 1968 Franco-Spanish werewolf film Las noches del hombre lobo, where there is some doubt as to whether the film ever existed at all. Users of the site are invited to register in order to be able to take part, either by uploading stills, or video clips, of films they cannot identify or leaving comments in order to help name films already posted on the site. The links page offers a range of helpful pointers to printed sources, other identification initiatives, exhibitions and festivals and hoaxes and jokes.

This resource from the University of Warwick was created in 2012 to celebrate the bicentenary of the birth of Charles Dickens. The site features short films, podcasts, and articles as well as a 45 minute documentary. Led by Professor John Mee, the videos and podcasts explore various aspects of the novelist’s work, covering Dickens and crime, Dickens in relation to his philanthropic works, as well as wider aspects of Victorian society. Writer Andrew Davies contributes to the discussion on screen adaptation, talking here with Professor Gary Watt about the cinematic nature of Dickens as well as the challenges he has faced in adapting the works for the screen. Aspects of certain novels, including Bleak House, Great Expectations and Little Dorrit are explored in greater depth in individual podcasts. The discussion on Our Mutual Friend, for example, looks at the destabilising effect of the novel’s dark humour and its presentation of human beings as commodities to be bartered and traded.
