Prelinger Archives
A must see web site. This site contains a huge data base of videos. For example the instructional movie, Duck and Cover. It's a movie from 1951 on what to do in case of a nuclear attack. They even have an anti-pornography film produced by financier Charles Keating, linking pornography to the Communist conspiracy and the decline of Western civilization.
Below is a quote from the site explaining it’s purpose;
Prelinger Archives remains in existence, holding approximately 4,000 titles on videotape and a smaller collection of film materials acquired subsequent to the Library of Congress transaction. Its goal remains to collect, preserve, and facilitate access to films of historic significance that haven't been collected elsewhere. Included are films produced by and for many hundreds of important US corporations, nonprofit organizations, trade associations, community and interest groups, and educational institutions.
