glad to see they have improved their site, last time you had to register, get a download ticket to view the free previews.

theres a joint archive here: http://www.itnsource.com/

altough sadly some of the crystal palace ones that I want to see, like a reel on the Art School Fire don't have previews. Wether there is actual film of that or they just used footage of the '36 one I don't know.

Just hope they all have previews eventually.

Heres a good one of them cleaning the dinosaurs in 1927 with some policemen (for some reason)
