Stock film footage & recent videos, free site, basic search engine

Not exactly the best new thing since bread, but useful for subjects that might have been captured on film at some point in the past, tucked away in someone's personal collection until given to this site: https://www.pond5.com/ This "stock video" was free in the past but now being monetized by the site creator. Nonetheless you can view a video, albeit without the audio track if there was one. The search engine functions with a one-word search term so you need a unique word. However it is easy to pull up moving images of de Valera that you would never otherwise get to see, from the 1920s forward in time, including his visits to Clare. Using Ennis as search term brings up videos from all over the county, including Bunratty Castle and the Cliffs of Moher. Nothing for Dorothea Lange.
