Jisc Digital Collections

http://www.jisc-content.ac.uk/

Please have a look at the link above to JISC digital collections and archives to see all the excellent digitised content available from the British Library, The National Archives, British Film Institute, The History Data Service, Royal Society of Chemistry, Thomson Reuters, Oxford University Press and many other leading research institutes, museums and universities. Each of the collections contains comprehensive data making it easy for you to include full research notes and citations within your work.
Since 2003 JISC and JISC Collections have been investing in digitised content across all subject areas. This website provides an introduction to these digital collections to help academics, students, researchers and librarians understand the wealth of resources available to them. Many of the collections provide access to archive materials which are too fragile in their original format to be used so widely, or they bring together materials which are scattered throughout the world

Royal Academy Architecture Resources

I wanted to highlight the Royal Academy Architecture Resource site. The podcasts include recent lectures series (e.g. The Architects Who Made London) and also interviews with Fuksas, Gluckman, Grimshaw, Isozaki and Zumthor, among others. There are also filmed interviews with Sir Richard MacCormac RA, David Chipperfield RA, Arata Isozaki Hon RA, Toh Shimazaki and Roger Zogolovitch.
