National Archives and Google Launch Pilot Project to Digitize and Offer Historic Films Online
"Washington,
D.C. and Mountain View, Calif. – Feb. 24, 2006 – Archivist of the
United States Allen Weinstein and Google (NASDAQ:GOOG) Co-Founder and
President of Technology Sergey Brin today announced the launch of a
pilot program to make holdings of the National Archives available for
free online. This non-exclusive agreement will enable researchers and
the general public to access a diverse collection of historic movies,
documentaries and other films from the National Archives via Google Video as well as the National Archives website."
Full details are here. Definitely of interest to librarians, historians, video afficionados and oddballs (I fit in the latter catagory).
