Moorefield-Lang, H. (2014). Ideas for using AASL best websites: Media history digital library. Retrieved from http://www.aasl.ala.org/aaslblog/?p=5317.

Summary

In this article, Heather Moorefield-Lang outlines the plethora of newly digitized classic media periodicals that have been added to the public domain by the non-profit project, The Media History Digital Library. The Media History Digital Library houses more than 1.3 million scanned documents relating to TV, film, and radio history. Information professionals would also appreciate the availability of cataloging information made available on the site.

Evaluation

Named as being one of AASL’s best websites, The Media History Digital Library is a web resource that information professionals should familiarize themselves with as soon as possible. This library is to TV/film/radio history in a similar vein in which Project Gutenberg is to classic literature. The Media History Digital Library can be found here: http://mediahistoryproject.org/
