NBC Learn


Southern Miss has purchased access to the NBC Learn Archives, available through Blackboard as well as through University Libraries. For more than 80 years, NBC News has been documenting the people, places, and events that shape our world. NBC Learn, the educational arm of NBC News, is dedicated to making these historic stories, images and primary source documents available on-demand to instructors and students.



The collections of NBC Learn are available through Internet streaming or via download. They are also accessible through Blackboard, which allows instructors to embed videos directly into their courses. Additionally, the University Libraries provides access to the NBC Learn Archives through the libraries' catalog at http://encore.lib.usm.edu/ and Web site at http://www.lib.usm.edu/. All videos available through the NBC Learn Archives are ADA compliant including captioning and transcripts as well as free of copyright restrictions.
