The library subscribes to many databases of streaming films. We do not have access to all films in all databases. the catalog is a great place to start when you have a title or subject of a film and you want to know what the library has. Be sure to limit your search (pull-down menu to right if search box) to "Streaming Media" to locate streaming resources.
Some of the most useful databases of streaming material for history are listed below-
Comprehensive multidisciplinary academic streaming video collection. Includes newsreels, award-winning documentaries, field recordings, interviews, lectures, training videos, and exclusive primary footage.

Educational, close-captioned videos on all subject areas. Includes archival film and newsreels, documentaries and films from producers such as A&E, BBC learning, and PBS.An external tool is available in Canvas to embed Films on Demand videos.
Current mobile devices supported.
Streaming videos from BBC, PBS, Documentary Educational Resources, Criterion Collection and others. The platform allows you to make playlists and clips, and share links.
NOTE: Not all films in the Kanopy database are available from the library. Be sure to check the title/topic you are looking for in the online catalog. Kanopy films we have are cataloged, along with those from other services. So, the film may be available from another source.
