Census of Antique Works of Art and Architecture Known in the Renaissance

UBUWEB
An amazing collection of digitized versions poetry, film, video, theatre, and critical texts, UBUWEB is a clearinghouse for rare, avant-garde materials. "We give it away and have been doing so since 1996. Totally independent from institutional support, UbuWeb is free from academic bureaucracy and its attendant infighting. UbuWeb posts much of its content without permission; we rip out-of-print LPs into sound files; we scan as many old books as we can get our hands on; we post essays as fast as we can OCR them. UbuWeb is an unlimited resource with unlimited space to fill. It is in this way that the site has grown to encompass hundreds of artists, hundreds of gigabytes of sound files, books, texts and videos."
