"Hearing the actual voices of the past can bring history alive in a way that reading a transcribed text never can,” noted Mark Kornbluh, Director of MATRIX. “Digital technologies now allow us to recapture the sounds of the past and make them freely available to students, teachers, and all Americans through the World Wide Web."

"Based in Amsterdam and Paris, the European Archive is a non-profit foundation working towards universal access to all knowledge. The archive will achieve this through partnerships with libraries, museums, other collection bodies, and through building its own collections. The primary goal of collecting this knowledge is to make it as publicly accessible as possible, via the Internet and other means.

Rationale

" Russian Archives Online (RAO) is an online collection of Russian and Soviet-related archives and other sources of film footage, photographs, illustrations and audio, along with supporting documents and text.
RAO exists to serve both the casual student of history and professionals in need of high quality archival material.

"Il progetto PRIN TRAME - Tecnologie e ambienti di rete per la memoria del XXI secolo è un progetto biennale (2006-2008) cofinanziato dal MIUR - coordinatore scientifico nazionale: Prof. Mario Ricciardi (Politecnico di Torino).

"Il ricco patrimonio di cinegiornali, conservato presso l'archivio, racchiude fotogrammi di settant'anni di storia e vita sociale italiana - e non solo - dagli anni Venti agli anni Novanta del XX secolo. Il nucleo principale e originario di tale fondo è rappresentato dai celebri "Giornali Luce" prodotti e distribuiti dallo stesso Istituto Nazionale Luce durante il ventennio fascista.

The September 11 Digital Archive uses electronic media to collect, preserve, and present the history of September 11, 2001 and its aftermath. The Archive contains more than 150,000 digital items, a tally that includes more than 40,000 emails and other electronic communications, more than 40,000 first-hand stories, and more than 15,000 digital images. In September 2003, the Library of Congress accepted the Archive into its collections, an event that both ensured the Archive's long-term preservation and marked the library's first major digital acquisition.
