BBC News – The Open News Archive

BBC – BBC News The Open News Archive – Home if you accept that to get to where you want to go, you need to know where you have come from; this news archive could be a good resource for presentations and campaign materials.

Sadly, only available to UK residents because of licensing restrictions but the lucky ones can download content and edit it as they wish for free as long as it is for non-commercial purposes (thats one for the lawyers). The footage of nearly 80 pieces of video and audio covering iconic news stories and events of the last 50 years is available in various formats including Quicktime and Windows Media.
