WKU Libraries is proud to announce the acquisition of a new online resource: American History in Video.
American History in Video provides the largest and richest collection of video available online for the study of American history, with 2,000 hours and more than 5,000 titles on completion. The collection allows students and researchers to analyze historical events, and their presentation over time, through commercial and governmental newsreels, archival footage, public affairs footage, and important documentaries. This release now provides 4,163 titles, with videos from new partner Media Rich Learning, and much more, equaling approximately 1,027 hours.
American History in Video has just been named a Library Journal 2009 Best Reference, in addition to being named earlier as Booklist Editors’ Choice: Reference Sources 2009 winner. The collection received a starred review in the November 15, 2009, issue of Booklist, which called it “highly recommended for any library that serves students of American history.” Library Journal also gave the collection a rave review in the August 15, 2009, issue, calling it a full 10 on a scale of 1 to 10 with a rating of “resoundingly recommended.”
WKU students, faculty and staff can access the resource directly from on campus, or by first logging into our proxy server when off campus.
American History in video? Sounds very interesting. I once saw a video on the second world war in color and that part of history really did came to be a lot more alive for me.
So I’m sure that this same video collection of American history will do exactly the same thing to faculty and students who get to watch it.
Great idea!
There is no doubt that every amercan student must know their history. And initiative like this are a great way to do that.
I just hope that students will be interested in all this stuff.

suggest it is a good movie and even remotely entertaining. The film may be a fantasy, inside of the dream inside of another fantasy. The jump from every single desire was so rapdi that it didnt allow the viewers to mentally maintain up and understand the scenario. My feeling is if a cinema doesn;t entertain you at all or is fulfilling with the minimum then it cant be superior. All of the motion that took position was visual, but when it really is not even actual inside the primary position, why even care adequate to view it? The end I believe was the ultimate cheeziness. II actually believe most people mistake decent videos for videos really being numerous. The real plot was extremely formulaic even though the visible globe was stimulating. Rather most likely the worst motion picture I’ve noticed this year.
