Internet Archive: Movie Collection

In addition to its Wayback Machine (last mentioned in the November 2, 2001 Scout Report, the Internet Archive offers the Internet Moving Images Archive, an extensive collection of digitized films from the Prelinger Archives. Not Hollywood movies, these films should provide researchers and scholars unique insight into certain aspects of 20th-century culture, industry, and institutions. Being able to select from titles like Care of Hair and Nails (1951), The Kingdom of Plastics (1955), and This is Coffee (1961), other users should easily find something interesting in the 956-film archive. Each film tends to have multiple file formats; RealPlayer, MPEG-2, and MPEG-4 are the most frequently employed. Because many of the files are over 100MB, users with low bandwidth should be wary.
