AdViews: Vintage Television Commercials

From Duke University:

Now, more than 1,500 historic TV commercials from the Hartman Center for Sales, Advertising & Marketing History in the Duke University Special Collections Library are available on iTunes U in a collection called “AdViews,” viewable at library.duke.edu/digitalcollections/adviews.
The first 1,500 digitized television commercials, mostly from the 1950s and 1960s, are part of the Hartman Center’s D’Arcy Masius Benton & Bowles (DMB&B) advertising agency archive. It includes 12,000 commercials total, some produced as recently as the late 1980s. Duke Libraries plans to make the remaining commercials available by the end of 2009.

You can watch the content online (via iTunes) and/or download to an iPod.
