Google puts National Archives video online | CNET News.com

Google puts National Archives video online | CNET News.com: "This is a World War II era newsreel, one of 100 historic videos retrieved from the U.S. National Archives and Records Administration and posted Friday on Google Video. The content represents the first fruits of a joint project aimed at putting as much of the National Archives' video content as possible online.

In this first batch are dozens of newsreels, films on the early 1930s park service, and National Air and Space Administration documentaries on space travel. A must-see includes Orson Welles reading from H.G. Wells' 'War of the Worlds,' before discussing the likelihood of extraterrestrial life 'beyond the petty surface of our own minute sphere.'"
