Archives--Moving Images The Internet Moving Images Archive is Now Online
From a recently received e-mail, "This noncommercial resource contains high-quality digitized versions of archival films available for free downloading and reuse. Never before available online, these "ephemeral" films document many aspects and events of 20th-century American culture and society, including media and media production, communication, technology, landscape, urban history, economics, political science, warfare, the New Deal, and many other areas. Most were originally released as advertising, educational, industrial, documentary, amateur or government films. At present, over 800 out of a planned total of 1001 titles are available, all from Prelinger Archives. All may be downloaded and reused for free, with no restrictions other than that the films cannot be resold or licensed by anyone in their entirety or as stock footage. Our intention is that these titles should circulate freely as "open-source" content. We encourage you to download this material for your own use and for the use of others. You may also wish to make videotape copies of these films for exhibition or reuse. We hope that easy access to these films will assist mediamakers, scholars, teachers, students, exhibitors and members of the general public in coming to terms with the complex and diverse audiovisual history of the 20th century. Further, we hope that easy access to a diverse collection of copyright- and restriction-free content will encourage more people to be moving image authors in their own right."
