Library of Congress on YouTube

The Library of Congress has begun to make its multimedia resources available via YouTube:

"We are starting with more than 70 videos, arranged in the following playlists: 2008 National Book Festival author presentations, the Books and Beyond author series, Journeys and Crossings (a series of curator discussions), “Westinghouse” industrial films from 1904, scholar discussions from the John W. Kluge Center, and the earliest movies made by Thomas Edison, including the first moving image ever made (curiously enough, a sneeze by a man named Fred Ott)."

To see what's available, go to: http://www.youtube.com/user/LibraryOfCongress
