Over 70 LOC Videos Now Available on YouTube
The Library of Congress has gone public with their YouTube channel, presenting over 70 videos in the following playlists:
- 2008 National Book Festival author presentations
- Books and Beyond author series
- Journeys and Crossings (a series of curator discussions)
- “Westinghouse” industrial films from 1904
- Scholar discussions from the John W. Kluge Center
- The earliest movies made by Thomas Edison, including the first moving image ever made
From their press release:
“But this is just the beginning. We have made a conscious decision that we’re not just going to upload a bunch of videos and then walk away. As with our popular Flickr pilot project, we intend to keep uploading additional content. We’re modifying some of our work-flows in modest ways to make our content more useful and delivered across platforms with built-in audiences of millions.”
