British Pathe has launched an open-access archive of 12 million photographs digitized and extracted from its collection of 20th century films. Low-res copies online are free to view, download, and share for non-commercial purposes. High-res copies are available for purchase. (Thanks to Chris Sherman in SearchDay.)

The open access movement:
Putting peer-reviewed scientific and scholarly literature
on the internet. Making it available free of charge and
free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.
Removing the barriers to serious research.
I recommend the OA tracking project (OATP) as the best way to stay on top of new OA developments. You can read the OATP feed on a blog-like web page or subscribe to it by RSS, email, or Twitter. You can also help build the feed by tagging new developments you encounter.
