Tribute to Louise BrooksThe Internet Archive is a brilliant site where you can view and download moving images, text, pictures and audio for free. I've been digging around the Silent Movie collection and I've found a few treasures that I'v enot been able to get my hands on before. There you can find links to embed videos, download movies or animated gifs, amazing!
"A Trip To The Moon" Georges Melies, 1902
From their About page: The Internet Archive is a non-profit that was founded to build an Internet library. Its purposes include offering permanent access for researchers, historians, scholars, people with disabilities, and the general public to historical collections that exist in digital format. Founded in 1996 and located in San Francisco, the Archive has been receiving data donations from Alexa Internet and others. In late 1999, the organization started to grow to include more well-rounded collections. Now the Internet Archive includes texts, audio, moving images, and software as well as archived web pages in our collections, and provides specialized services for adaptive reading and information access for the blind and other persons with disabilities.
Das Kabinett des Doktor Caligari ( The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari ) (1919)I strongly recommend that you explore this site!
