This could and does occupy a whole new
topic, but some of the best general websites are:
ScreenSound Australia - The National
Screen and Sound Archives
www.screensound.gov.au
The Internet Movie Database - www.imdb.com
The Silent Majority -

Clara Bow - www.clarabow.net
Silent Movies - www.silent-movies.com
There are many resources out there for those looking for such things as Art Deco images, fonts and graphics, but sometimes they are hard to track down. Just a few examples are:
Nick's Fonts - www.nicksfonts.com
Excellent Art Deco fonts and `wingdings'
to download for free
Syber Gypsy - www.webmajik.com
Beautiful screensavers and desktop images,
many with Art Deco themes
Elfring Fonts - www.elfring.com
Download a free sampler of Art Deco fonts
Many antique dealers have their own websites, and the many online auction houses that have proliferated recently are worth checking out - but remember, especially if you are an Autralian, that the bargain you get from overseas will possibly be offset by shipping costs.
