    This site presents videos of academics from various disciplines, talking to camera about their interests and research. The aim is to communicate research in a way that is accessible to the wider public. The videos are professionally made and the participants present their ideas clearly in an unadorned, simple way, largely relying on direct, to camera communication, without any other audiovisual aids. Users can narrow their search by four broad categories: Arts and Humanities, Formal Sciences, Natural Sciences, Professional and Social Sciences. Amongst the disciplines currently represented on the site are Architecture, History, Philosophy, Sociology, Finance, Fashion, Film Studies, Management and Planetary Sciences. All content is free to view but there are various Licensing options for use of the content beyond the platform. A simple idea, well executed.

A number of resources, including Themed resource guides will help researchers navigate the wide range of material available, while the OSA TV part of the site presents video recordings of public lectures, events and exhibitions, as well as videos from the archival collections.

    The Digital Performance Archive (DPA) was an outcome of an Arts and Humanities Research Board (AHRB) funded research project between Nottingham Trent and Salford Universities to undertake a major collection and analysis of digital performance events and developments that occurred during the 1990s. The project was called “DRIP-DROP”, standing for ‘Digital Resources In Performance – Digital Resources On Performance’, and it documented developments in the creative use of computer technologies in performance - from live theatre and dance productions that incorporated digital media, to cyberspace interactive dramas and web-casts.
    The “Drip-Drop” project produced an extensive online searchable database of virtual theatre performance and related events from 1990 to 2000, including selected video documentation, images and statements by creators.
