Internet Archive & Public Domain

Ok, I'm at Archive.org and I was confused on how to find public domain material, but it's out there.

http://www.archive.org/search.php?query=%2Fmetadata%2Flicenseurl%3Ahttp%2Apublicdomain%2A

Type in /metadata/licenseurl:http*publicdomain* in the search box, and it will return a giant list of entries that are public domain. Then select from the drop down, the different media type you want to filter by.

Every time you hit search, it only searches by what's offered below. So if you want to open up the search, hit the back button.

Here are some interesting pieces that may be fun to pull from...
