A few sources have been of incredible importance for the on-line researacher:
First and foremost is the Internet archive. A non-profit whose goal is to provide free access to media of all sorts. Check it out for anything you might be interested in — old songs, TV shows, newpapers, books, films, etc. etc. Here is the link to the site: The internet archive. If you enjoy the fruits of their labor, donate to them as I have done: https://archive.org/donate?origin=iawww-TopNavDonateButton. Without the work that they have done for me, I could not have done this work for you.
