One thing that should be noted is that the site can be a little deceptive. The homepage of the Video Gallery displays several tabs named with categories like "US History," "Exploration," and "Society and Culture." But each of these tabs will only display a small selection of the total number of videos you can watch on the website. Even the "Video by Show" tab only displays short videos from one show. To see a really comprehensive list of videos, choose a show from the drop-down "Browse by Show" menu bar. This will let you choose from dozens more clips for each of the dozens of shows!
