Dept. of truly amazing initiatives:

Today the Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision released _De Schatkamer_ ("the treasure chamber"), a new website where they've made available for free viewing an archive of *HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS* of Dutch public radio and television programmes broadcast from 1920 to 2020.

I am gobsmacked at the sheer scope and size of this project, at how much cultural history has suddenly been made available, for free, for everyone to just enjoy. It's almost enough to restore one's faith in the promise and the power of the Internet to be a force for Good.

(The Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision, by the way, resides in one of the more awesome buildings in the country.)
