This site offers a vast amount of information about broadcasting history, covering (despite the name) television and radio, mainly in the USA and Canada but also venturing as far afield as the UK and Australia. Of particular value to researchers are the wide range of digitised, searchable periodicals and journals which, although the main focus of the site is on the early days of broadcasting also stretch as far as the 21st century. NB. It is not clear to what degree rights have been cleared for some of the material on this site. David Gleason, who maintains the site, operates on a basis of ‘if the owner of the material complains I will take it down’ - rather than seeking permission beforehand.

The Irish Film & Television Index is a constituent element of the Irish Film & TV Research Online website. The Index’s aim is to document all Irish-made cinema and major television productions as well as Irish-themed audio-visual representations produced outside of Ireland. The database, which has drawn on the archival and paper records from many of the world’s leading film archives and specialist libraries, including ones in Ireland, Britain, the USA, and Australia, has almost 40,000 titles. Under the Irish Research Council for the Humanities and Social Sciences’ Major Grant Scheme, 2003-05, an award was made to update Kevin Rockett’s The Irish Filmography (1996) and to document all major non-fiction films, including newsreels, and animation, made for cinema and television. Researchers are able to find, for example, an Irish-theme film; its cast list or production personnel; read a synopsis of its content; establish what has been written about it; compile, through a keyword search, a list of complementary titles; and then find out where a copy of the film may be found.

The site’s aim is to compile details of every programme ever broadcast to London from 1922-1999. To fulfil this objective the site relies on crowdsourcing. The Database holds details of some three million programmes from 27 services
transmitted to London between Tuesday, 14 November 1922 and Friday, 31st December 1999. The user can click on a specific year/month/day and find a list of radio and television broadcasts. The final entry in 1999 covers BBC1, BBC2, Channel 4 and Channel 5 and BBC Radio. The project is ongoing and the coverage of channels is incomplete and not consistent from year to year. The site aims to conclude the project by November 2015.

Developed in association with the Indiana University Digital Library Program, the Televised Opera and Musical Comedy Database documents more than three-quarters of a century of opera, operetta and musical comedy telecasts produced in the United States. The database traces performance programming from early presentations on experimental TV stations to current live and recorded productions released on broadcast and closed circuit television, cable, home video and webcasts. The database is easy to navigate and entries typically gives title, series, opera company, composer, conductor, orchestra, soloists, transmission date, broadcast station, duration and production credits. Some records name the archive which holds a copy and the existence of a commercial VHS or DVD copy is indicated.
