The Internet Archive is a whole universe with its Petabytes of data. They not only archive „the internet“ (!!), but also have dedicated collections of digitized public domain1) books, audio, video, and imagery.

Not for the light-hearted, as plenty of „troll“ labels put out plenty of trash releases with „graphic“ (as in gross) album art all the time. You'll know it when you see it. In other: this takes some dedication because of a pretty low SNR. Also: I seem to have a thing with footnotes these days.

For all current viewing interests, better have a look at Speedrun.com directly. For some significant titles, Youtuber Summoning Salt even has created 10-20 minute long documentaries of how each game's world record time has evolved during the last 10 years.
