The US Library of Congress has launched its own ‘YouTube’ channel, the organisation said in its own blog, adding it has been “working for several months now so that we could “do YouTube right.”
The LoC is opening its YouTube outlet with more than 70 videos, including 2008 National Book Festival author presentations, the 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, and the earliest movies made by Thomas Edison.
All of the videos on YouTube will also be available at LOC.gov on American Memory, many of which are newly digitised in a much higher resolution by the Motion Picture, Broadcast and Recorded Sound conservators in Culpeper, Va. The archives of the LoC hold the world’s largest collection of audiovisual materials, some 6 million films, broadcasts and sound recordings
