Finding good quality audio and visual materials to enrich your studies and projects can sometimes be challenging. You can use the website "Beeld en Geluid op school" to find photographs and audiovisual materials.
Finding audiovisual materials
The World Wide Web is flooded with audiovisual materials. But, it's not easy to find materials to use in your own project. You may already use platforms like YouTube, Vimeo, Google Images, Unsplash, Flickr or many others. They can be helpful to quickly find some videos or images. However, high definition television fragments and radio programmes are more difficult to find.
A new tool to find audiovisual material is the website Beeld en Geluid op school (Dutch only). This is an online media platform with more than 145,000 programme titles and audio dating back to 1900. The oldest material is a video of a student parade in Leiden from June 19, 1900.
