The largest moving image archive in the US has started to provide access to some of its materials through Google Video. Read about it here.
Go to the films here.
It's a start! There are millions of hours of historic footage that can be accessed this way. It will be interesting to see how schools make use of this material. The end of the A/V specialist? Somehow, I doubt it. We might even see demand for this footage grow, to be inserted into news reports or advertising, which would increase the licensing fees generated by the National Archives.
