[Air-L] New Resource: The Archival Internet Video Index

[Avery Dame-Griff]

Xanat,

It's definitely doable. I've added a column for Video Country of Origin
(where it was originally shot and/or shown) which I've identified based on
video description. They can't be 100% guaranteed, since some of these
videos have no description at all, but I've gotten as close as I can.

Best,
Avery
