We’re kicking off 2016 with a new video series about the excitement and joy of capturing family stories.

Each bite-sized clip features StoryKeep founder Jamie Yuenger sharing a personal story or an experience working with a family. (Learn more about Jamie.)

Today’s episode, “Peach Slurping,” is about a silly game Jamie played with her younger brother, Jake, when they were kids.

What silly games did you play as a kid? Share your story in the comments section, or on our Facebook page. We look forward to hearing them.

Best known as a clearinghouse for viral videos, YouTube is also one of the Internet’s richest repositories of historical films, a treasure trove for journalists, educators, and history enthusiasts.

And it just got better.

The Associated Press and British Movietone, a vast newsreel archive, announced last month that they would upload more than 1 million minutes of historical footage – 550,000+ video stories – to YouTube, the biggest ever upload of its kind.

The breadth and depth of the collection, which dates from 1895 to the present, is astonishing, including everything from news coverage of earth-shaking events, like the bombing of Pearl Harbor and the Tiananmen Square protests, to snippets of everyday life in all its bizarre, bygone glory.

Here are few of StoryKeep’s favorites:

1. The only known surviving footage of the Titanic.

2. Outlandish bridal fashions from 1966

3. The Rolling Stones get a Beatlemania-esque reception in Sydney

4. The Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II

5. Dog-walking machines from 1937

The collection is hosted on two YouTube channels: the AP and Movietone. (Tip: Click “playlists” for curated galleries of the best footage.)
