The Library of Congress has it’s own Youtube channel. Doesn’t appear to be much there yet, but if it’s anything like the Library of Congress Flickr photo feed then eventually there will be some pretty incredible stuff available.
Ran across this brief article on Boing Boing about the Nelson’s Perpetual Loose-Leaf Encyclopaedia and was struck by the fact that I not only own a complete set of the regular encyclopedia but a set of the medical encyclopedia as well, plus several updates.
I happen to love encyclopedias, especially old ones, and these are my favorites (though I would love to get my hands on a set of Encyclopedia Britannica from the late 1800’s).
