Here are a selection of just some of the new footage available to view on YouTube:
One of the most harrowing moments in 20th century American history and the first of three notable political assassinations that rocked the US in the 1960s. The AP has digitally restored amateur footage from the assassination of President Kennedy to provide yet more insight over 50 years later.

Little wonder that the video of the audition has gone viral, racking up more than 30 million views on YouTube already. As the makers of The Sound of Music might say, what is it about the naive young nun singing a love song that has millions smiling? It’s proved a box office hit many times before: Julie Andrews as Maria, Whoopi Goldberg in Sister Act, Sally Field in The Flying Nun.
Across both British Movietone and AP Archive there are now over 500,000 video stories from 1895 to the present day, acting as an important historical resource for schools but also the wider global public. From the iconic to the bizarre, AP's director of international archive Alwyn Lindsey said the new footage "creates an incredible visual journey of the people and events that have shaped our history."

But Sr Cristina is no gimmick. She is that old-fashioned figure, the evangelist. Her method – singing on a TV programme adorned with tattooed rappers and half-naked starlets – may sound unorthodox. But step into a church in one of the lively Caribbean parishes across this country and you’ll find Gospel choirs in flowing technicolour robes swaying in the aisles as they roar the chorus of Michael Row Your Boat Ashore.

"I’m ready to burst any minute," is the reply.
The bespectacled young nun belted out the Alicia Keys song No One, and brought the studio audience to their feet. The lyrics are schmaltzy (“I just want you close / Where you can stay for ever / You can be sure / That it will only get better”) and Sr Cristina is not, she will forgive me for saying this, Monica Bellucci. I watched the video and, two or three seconds in, feared a pious pastiche of Gangnam Style, with rosary beads replacing the Korean’s shades.
The sun is out, the clocks have changed and spring is in the air. The Christian spring, that is: the Churches and their followers are bursting with a new exuberance.

Pope Francis’s appeal has been widely recognised; Sr Cristina fuels it with her fresh and feminine presence. Their duet (I wouldn’t put it past them) couldn’t come at a more opportune time: Christians face increased persecution in the Middle East and Africa; and condemnation as homophobes and apologists for paedophile priests in the West. In Britain, the Rev Paul Flowers, a Methodist minister, had to be cast out of his church for allegedly buying illegal drugs. Only a few days ago, the novelist Ian McEwan told a literary festival that religious people were scientific illiterates who were “perverse” in their hostility to progress.
Like those singers, Sr Cristina draws energy from her faith: “God,” she told her cheering audience, “takes nothing away, but gives us always more.” She preaches this message to the world outside her convent; and with her boisterous singing, trumpets the new-found wellbeing and confidence of her faith. This upbeat mood draws its inspiration from the new popular Pope, Francis – whose congratulatory phone call Sr Cristina is expecting.

Stephen Nuttall, the director of YouTube in Europe, the Middle East and Africa, said: "Making this content available on YouTube is a wonderful initiative from AP and British Movietone that will breathe new life into their footage and no doubt delight our global community. It's an historical treasure trove that will give YouTube users around the world a moving window into the past."
The personification of this joyful new mood is decked in a modest dark veil and clod-hopper shoes. Sister Cristina Scuccia is a 25-year-old Ursuline whose singing on Italy’s The Voice has become a YouTube sensation.
