Technology at Your Fingertips - Focus on Finding Images and Sounds

A picture's worth a thousand words, right?  And to hear a song or speech would be much more powerful than reading it.  So images and sounds come in very handy for presentations, training and teaching.  But where do you get un-copyrighted ones that are freely available?

There 's a handy website (that may not be around for long, so you might want to save it for yourself) that lists tons of images and sounds: 
http://marylaine.com/images.html

In it, Marylaine Block offers web addresses to the following images:
maps, timelines, clip art, regular art, museum stuff, historical images, and science and medical images.

In the world of sound, she offers links to:
oral histories, speeches, radio, video shows, folk music and more.
