The Library
of Congress has launched a YouTube channel that features some of the 6
million films, broadcasts and sound recordings in the library’s collection.

by the European Commission
The channel
was started with more than 70 videos, arranged in several playlists that
include author presentations from the 2008 National Book Festival, the Books
and Beyond author series, and Journeys and Crossings, a series of curator
discussions.
Other
playlists include Westinghouse industrial films from 1904, scholar discussions
from the John W. Kluge Center and the earliest movies made by Thomas Edison.
Library
officials said they modeled the YouTube channel after the library’s Flickr
project ( http://www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress
) in which visitors are able to comment and tag
historical photographs, and officials intend to regularly upload additional
content.
The videos posted on YouTube will also be available in the American Memory
section of the library's Web site. American Memory provides free online access
to written and spoken words, sound recordings, still and moving images, prints,
maps, and sheet music. The materials from the Library of Congress and other
institutions chronicle historical events, people, places and ideas.
