Recordings and history
The Internet Archive has added Lots of 78rpm recordings to their audio archive. Great place to find things like Mitch Miller, Paul Whiteman, The Original Dixieland Jazz Band, classical recordings (Caruso!), voice recordings (Pope Leo XIII!) and more. For more recorded history, History and Politics Out Loud has voice recordings from presidents' speeches to Nixon tapes. FYI, if you want to hear more Nixon tapes, C-Span has an archive online. For those who remember the Washington Post's famous political cartoonist, Herblock, who was still drawing up to his death a couple years ago, Herblock's History is an online exhibit of his cartoons, including lots of Richard Nixon, from the Library of Congress.
On another topic, maybe future history, As the World Burns is a Mother Jones investigation of how ExxonMobil and others are working to convince journalists to report that global warming is a hoax. posted by liz at 5:16 PM
