Google to Digitize National Archives Footage

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the everything-else-to-be-destroyed dept.

Anil Kandangath writes "Google today announced their pilot program to digitize the entire video content of the National Archives and make it globally accessible for free on Google Video. The history of the world should be universally accessible and this is definitely a great step towards making sure that our history is not lost, and that everyone has equal and easy access towards such information. Google has provided some sample videos from the National Archives, such as the 1969 moon landing."

    Yeah, how much you wanna bet the secret blooper reel from the fake moon landing filming don't show up on Google Video. You know, the one where Neil Armstrong bouncing wires get tangled in the cardboard landing module and crushes half the set. The one where Henry Kissenger accidentally wanders onto the "moon."
