My Mom put me wise to this today - she knows my passion for America's history and the WWII era in particular. There are a bunch of United Newreel Motion Pictures from WWII and also Department of the Interior Motion Pictures - mostly from the 30's!
I highly recommend checking this out - I have downloaded all the available ones of interest and the Google video player - the file sizes are really small, too. :eusa_clap
Here is the description from Refdesk.com:
"Over 70 years ago, the National Archives was founded to preserve American historical documents, as well as the moments and events that could be saved in still photos, films, and audio recordings. Today the Archives is home to everything from rare historical footage (newsreels and government documentaries from the 1930s) to the 1969 moon landing. Now Google is launching a pilot program to digitize its video content and offer it to everyone in the world for free, and you can watch a growing selection on Google Video. "
