Oldies But Goodies

Via an e-mail from old friend Tom Maxwell, newsreel buffs will want to check out British Pathe's database, "the world's first digital news archive. Now you are here you can preview items from the entire 3500 hour British Pathe Film Archive which covers news, sport, social history and entertainment from 1896 to 1970. You can also license higher resolution copies of the same items for PowerPoint Presentations and Web Publishing, or simply buy a still from the item for private use." Sounds like a terrific research and self-education tool!
