- th0ma5 14y agothere is so much available at the archive, and i while i struggle with "findability" (which even with faceted browsing i'm not sure we have any better ideas out there) i'm still surprised when i meet even deeply technical types that don't know the entirety of its weath.. like the 9/11 archive http://archive.org/details/911 http://archive.org/details/911 computer chronicles (heheh) http://archive.org/search.php?query=collection%3Acomputerchronicles&sort=-publicdate http://archive.org/search.php?query=collection%3Acomputerchr... or my favorite is probably the polymorphics video from the ICBM guy's company http://archive.org/details/AllAboutPolymorphics http://archive.org/details/AllAboutPolymorphics

After that, we'll need some clever language recognition technologies to make this data searchable. I did not know this about the news, but, "The act of copying all this news material is protected under a federal copyright agreement signed in 1976."
