Internet Archive is a non-profit digital library offering free universal access to books, movies & music, as well as 150 billion archived web pages. The Internet Archive is working to prevent the Internet - a new medium with major historical significance - and other "born-digital" materials from disappearing into the past. Collaborating with institutions including the Library of Congress and the Smithsonian, we are working to preserve a record for generations to come.

We recommend submitting clips in the highest quality format you have available. The best format to submit is MPEG2 (dvd quality) files - we will automatically derive your MPEG2 into smaller video files. Feel free to upload the same clip in different formats, if you'd like. Let us know in the forum at the bottom of the page when you've uploaded a stock footage clip to open source movies and we'll move it over if it fits the requirements.
There are many other videos in the archive that you can use in your own movies. For example, you can search the archive for all public domain movies, which includes all of the Prelinger Archive and many more high quality, interesting films. If you'd like to learn how to search the archive by CC License-type, please see this search FAQ.

What happens when you make close to 2,000 ephemeral public domain films freely available on the Web? People make art and more films are born!
Here’s a sample of films created with Prelinger Archives footage and uploaded to the Internet Archive. However, Rick Prelinger suspects thousands more are uploaded on other video sites. If you have a video you created using footage from the Prelinger Archives, please let us know so we can include it here.
