A list of the entire collection, arranged by subject, is on the website and researchers can arrange to visit the museum to see the films, or borrow a viewing copy (in VHS or Beta format).

This site provides information on New Zealand films and documentaries, with the bulk of the material coming from New Zealand’s National Film Unit (NFU), together with other films from government departments and the private sector. Over 150 items from the archives have been digitised, including a substantial selection of entire issues of the Pictorial Parade and Weekly Review newsreels which can be freely viewed via the site’s video page. In addition to the newsreels are a number of other films chosen for their cultural or historic interest, such as a film of Igor Stravinsky conducting the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra in a performance of the Firebird Suite.

The rationale behind this site is to make it easy for anyone, anywhere, to hold their own screenings chosen from a selected list of documentary films. Using a piece of software called "Indie Screenings" the site facilitates the booking of a film online, automatically calculates the screening fee and then takes payment. The films available - mainly on themes of social justice and environmental concerns - are selected by the Channel 4 BRITDOC team as well as director Franny Armstrong and producer Lizzie Gillett (the team behind environmental film The Age of Stupid). After payment of the licence fee - which is calculated on a sliding scale - the person is then free to charge people to attend their screening, thus recouping the fee and, hopefully, making a profit - which makes the scheme ideal for fundraising.

The national Dutch film centre for film culture and heritage has a broad mission, covering film education, supporting the industry, film restoration, promotion and marketing. To open up its collections to as wide an audience as possible it has an ongoing digitisation programme. The Scene Machine aims to let the viewer explore the archive in an intuitive way, presenting film fragments clustered around themes and keywords, which can then be juxtaposed, filtered, combined and saved. It’s an interesting approach which aims to encourage a more interactive approach to the material without sacrificing the films’ archival and historical importance.

Open Images describes itself as an '... open media platform that offers online access to audiovisual archive material to stimulate creative reuse’. Based in Holland, this is an initiative of the Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision which seeks to offer content from audiovisual collections that can be downloaded and remixed into new works under a Creative Commons Licensing model. It makes use of open video formats (Ogg Theora) and open standards (HTML5, OAI-PMH). It currently holds nearly 1,400 items from the 1919 to the present day with contributors encouraged to upload content. Titles can be searched by language (English and Dutch) and period but also in terms of the specifics of end-user licensing conditions. Along with newsreels and lectures there are also items on a wide variety of topics including sport, science and nature, politics, sport and the arts. The search interface is simple and easy to use though the resource, while fascinating and in many ways a model of its kind, is desperately bare when it comes to providing information on how to search its actual content.
