Moving Image Collections

http://mic.imtc.gatech.edu/

These days, there are a multitude of websites dedicated to moving
images of all types, and it can be difficult to sort the wheat from
the chaff. Fortunately, the Moving Image Collections (MIC) has been
working on creating such collections since 1994, and they have done so
with the kind support of the Library of Congress, the Association of
Moving Image Archivists, and the National Science Foundation.
Essentially, the MIC contains a number of online collections of
different archived media, and in many cases, visitors can view the
moving images themselves directly from the site. Visitors can use the
"Collection Explore" feature to search the MIC Union Catalog, which
lists moving images collected and managed by participating
organizations. Fourteen total organizations participate and they
include the CNN Library, KYUK-TV, and the Academic Film Archive of
North America. A simple search using the word "history" returned
programs on archaeology and wine production, beekeeping, and
bioterrorism, and visitors can customize other searches as well.
