Another great source is the site Archive.org:

https://archive.org/

They have public domain material in all media: books, video, audio books, lectures, etc. I've found a lot of interesting items here, some of which are amazing. They also have a function called the 'Wayback Machine' that allows you to enter a URL for an old website and see an archived copy of the site as it was previously...

The Wayback Machine is one of my favourite for looking back on the way the web used to be.

Which should enforce the concept that once something is posted on the Internets Tubes, it does not go away.
