EduTubePlus

Video Active is a project funded within the eContentplus programme of the European Commission. Its main goal is "to create access to television archives across Europe. The unlocking of these (largely) closed archives will make their content available for educational and academic purposes. It will enable an interactive discovery of television's cultural heritage. The project will achieve this by selecting 10,000 items television archive content, which reflects the cultural and historical similarities and differences of television from across the European Union, and by complementing this archive content with well-defined contextual metadata." The consortium also maintains a blog: http://videoactive.wordpress.com
