This is incredible. Just imagine: In a hundred years, kids who want to learn about the last century will be able to watch it in HD... If anyone else is interested in this kind of stuff, I can highly recommend to check out this video of the daily life in London in 1903(!): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v-5Ts_i164c
Here's another video of scenes from London, in full colour, from 1927. (In fact, I just looked up the cinematographer who took it and apparently this is his "The Open Road" movie, of which there are extended videos.)
