Retro Directory is a listing of retro computing orgs, museums, podcasts and youtube channels. I knew about a few of these but most are a complete surprise to me!
My own little bit of retro computingness can be found at Period Sites in Period Browsers.

York in flood during (apparently) the late 70s. At about 30 seconds in there’s a lovely shot of a very wet pre-flood defence Marygate. Later on, at around one minute forty, you get a shot along Wellington Row and across the River – notably showing the build that there before the construction of the General Accident (now Aviva) Building. There are also some nice shots of The Kings Arms and the bottom of the Museum Gardens in flood.
