Not sure about You Tube, but Google and the US National Archives have
entered into a partnership to make historic footage from the National
Archives collection available on the Google Video server. See

Subject: Historical audio recordings on YouTube
Dear fellow archivists,
I am in the process of researching the possibility of putting audio
recordings (digital copies of material in the collection,
specifically) from an archive up on YouTube. I am curious to know of
any archives, museums, libraries or other organizations that have put
historical (i.e. say before 1930) audio recordings - music or anything
else - on YouTube.
I would also welcome any comments from archivists who have used
YouTube in their practice.
Best regards,
Bruce Harpham, M.A.
