Fathom Archive
Fathom was an international consortium of universities headed by the University of Chicago and including the London School, of Economics (LSE). From 2000-2003 it created a collection of free online educational resources covering subject areas from the sciences and social sciences. Since 2003 (when the project closed) new materials have not been added. However, the archive site enables users to read the archive of online academic papers, interviews and lectures. It includes audio and video files. Topics covered include global international political and economic relations, civil rights, technology and society. The site can be browsed. Technical and copyright information is displayed. From: Intute.ac.uk
