So this is old news but I got to hear Rick and Megan of the Prelinger archives [http://www.archive.org/details/prelinger] speak on Oct. 22nd at CCA for the Individualized Majors. If you haven't used their site before, go now. They have a collection of the most amazing movies that you can download for free and use anyway you want, basically. I probably would have never looked beyond the collection of movies if they hadn't come to speak. The digital text library is amazing. From Project Gutenberg I found the, I guess, 'original' story of Alice and Wonderland with Lewis Caroll's original drawings. This is depicting the mock turtle and the gryphon doing the lobster dance...I have to reread this book. Also I found out that they have an actual library in San Francisco with books ordered according to similarity in subject or reference. I can't wait to go and get lost.
