Just as a side-note about the Wayback Machine including video: I searched for a good copy of a certain music video a month ago; first tried YouTube, then Google Video, where I found this copy, to my surprise, on Archive.org: Peter Schilling - "The Different Story (World Of Lust and Crime)" (1988) https://archive.org/details/Peter_Schilling_Cretu_-_The_Different_Story_World_Of_Lust_and_Crime https://archive.org/details/Peter_Schilling_Cretu_-_The_Diff... Just found this too: https://archive.org/details/musicvideobin https://archive.org/details/musicvideobin Another video better than any copy on YouTube: https://archive.org/details/Ultravox_Vienna https://archive.org/details/Ultravox_Vienna About the archiving of TV news broadcasts: > In 2013, the Archive received an additional donation of "approximately 40,000 well-organized tapes," from the estate of a Philadelphia woman https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Archive#TV_News_Search_.26_Borrow https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Archive#TV_News_Searc...

I found the story of the woman[1] in question quite interesting. She was recording 24/7 news onto tapes across 8 machines throughout her house, and it seems like it took over her, and by proxy her husband's, life: > Every six hours when the tapes would be ending, Stokes and her husband would run around the house to switch them out—even cutting short meals at restaurants to make it home to switch out tapes in time I can't help but mention when talking about Archive.org - the Computer Magazine collection is one of my favourite places to get heavy nostalgia fix.[2] [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marion_Stokes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marion_Stokes [2]: https://archive.org/details/computermagazines https://archive.org/details/computermagazines
