"The Library of Congress has unveiled its new National Screening Room, a free collection of digitized historical films, commercials, newsreels and other clips from the 1800s until the end of the 20th century and capture a broad range of American life." [www.metafilter.com]

The first comment should be of interest to other AP'ians:

"The Miles Brothers' "A Trip Down Market Street" was filmed four days before the April 18, 1906 earthquake and fire obliterated most of downtown San Francisco.

LOC notes: "The negative was taken by train to the Miles New York office on 17 April 1906, narrowly saving it from destruction by one day and thus preserving a moment in the history of San Francisco that would soon cease to exist."
