The HMS Barham Explodes and Sinks, 1941 Photo: British Pathé <there was a picture here...Trotsky> British Pathé, the newsreel maker which documented all walks of life on video during the 20th Century, has uploaded its entire collection of moving images to YouTube. The archive of 3,500 hours of footage was digitised in 2002 thanks in part to a grant from the National Lottery, and is now freely accessible to anyone around the world for free. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/news/10772434/British-Pathe-uploads-85000-historic-films-to-YouTube.html This is so cool!!

I just let it run on for about an hour, randomly going hither and thither from one seemingly random topic to another...all interesting. There's probably a learning curve to tame the beast.
