The Internet Archive to be specific. Lots of fascinating stuff here. A music historian I know has an ongoing project digging through the radio collection and he's constantly coming up with something of artistic or historical interest. (If any pop culture historian would care to join the fray, take a look at "Singles and Doubles," a collection of shows with only one or two known episodes. )
Here are some Christmas-themed videos I dug up from the Archive. No new finds, but plenty of off-beat clips. We've got:
Two shorts from Edison studios;
Two non-jolly Christmas episodes from the original Dragnet;
An influential animated feature from the Soviet Union, with some very American added footage;
An early effort by Jean Renoir;
The debut production of the Hallmark Hall of Fame;
A CBS News special report from the mid-Sixties, interesting both for its subject matter and its reminder of how much TV news has changed over the years.
