External Streaming Video Collections
Media Services catalogs many streaming videos available on the web. We have chosen ones of particular educational or intellectual value from sources which are likely to remain viable.
Major sources of free online content:
Annenberg Media

These streaming video programs are provided free of charge. After creating an account, users can watch full-length programming on their desktop. Many of the programs are multi-part series which cover several hours.
Annenberg distributes programming on an extremely wide range of topics. Media Services has almost 300 Annenberg/CPB productions in its collection. When a title is available, the record in ALADIN will direct users to the specific streaming video on the Annenberg website.
C-SPAN Video Library
This library contains every C-SPAN program aired since 1987, now totaling over 170000 hours.
Folkstreams
Called a "national preserve of hard-to-find documentary films about American folk or roots cultures". In 1999, filmmaker Tom Davenport realized that the internet could provide exposure for documentary films that didn't fit into mainstream programming constraints - films with uncommon running times or with subjects who didn't speak "broadcast English". The website has become a treasure house of American cultural richness - documentaries on topics as varied as Florida shrimpers, New England stone carvers, schoolyard games, immigrant life, rural life, music, dance, and food.
Folkstreams films are cataloged in ALADIN and can be searched by title or subject keyword. For a complete list search keyword = folkstreams.

The Mike Wallace Interview
An archive created by the Harry Ransom Center at the University of Texas and contains 65 interviews from the ABC show, The Mike Wallace Interview, conducted in 1957 and 1958. At a time when ABC News was virtually non-existent (most of its news footage was provided by Telenews, the newsreel unit of MGM), Wallace independently produced the program - live - through his Newsmakers Productions, Inc. The earliest interview in the collection, broadcast on April 28, 1957, features Gloria Swanson, the silent-movie actress who made a sensational comeback in the 1950 classic Sunset Boulevard. The interviews, many of them featuring Wallace's trademarked confrontational approach, were originally "kinescoped" (a movie camera captured the image on the TV screen), then, in later years, transferred to videotape and eventually digitized.
