Peoples Archive
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Peoples Archive [sic] is a website which has videos of notable persons telling their life stories. It was originally named the Science Archive and so has videos from many distinguished scientists. To quote the website:
Peoples Archive is dedicated to collecting for posterity the stories of the great thinkers, creators, and achievers of our time. The people whose stories you see on this site are leaders of their field, whose work has influenced and changed our world.
Higher resolution videos are available to subscribers and the stories are also available on DVD-ROM.
