The Associated Press and British Movietone, one of the
world's most comprehensive newsreel archives, are together
bringing more than 1 million minutes of digitized film footage
to YouTube. Showcasing the moments, people and events that shape
the world, it will be the largest upload of historical news
content on the video-sharing platform to date. The two channels
will act as a view-on-demand visual encyclopedia, offering a
unique perspective on the most significant moments of modern
history. Available for all to explore, the channels will also be
powerful educational tools and a source of inspiration for
history enthusiasts and documentary filmmakers. The YouTube
channels will include more than 550,000 video stories dating
from 1895 to the present day. For example, viewers can see video
from the San Francisco earthquake in 1906, exclusive footage of
the bombing of Pearl Harbor in 1941, Marilyn Monroe captured on
film in London in the 1950s and Twiggy modeling the fashions of
the 1960s.
