Many readers have turned to me asking how they can lay their hands on old lecture courses. Very highly in demand are -and for good reason- lecture series by Margaret Lavinia Anderson, such as History 5 (European history from the Renaissance until today) and History 167b (History of the Second Reich).There are some rumors that Berkeley are to share the archive, but how and where and to what extent is not at all clear. We will keep you posted (that is, not just me, also Dara from DIY Scholar is on the lookout).
In the mean time, not all consumers are patiently waiting for the shop to open up again and have gone looking for alternative sites where the files might be shared. One such place would be the Internet Archive. Here you can already find a score of courses from 2006 and 2007.

I have many of the bekley courses downloaded... How do I upload them? Which one's are needed?
thanks for the "headsup" since I was impressed by Prof Anderson's courses and even have her linked on my sidebar under "podcasts"...
Any luck on finding History 5 by Margaret Lavinia Anderson? I had this at one time. It was the very best!
Yes, there are 4 versions of the History 5 course available on iTunes U.
